GM-MOVE_BACKUPS_OFFSITE(8)				      System Manager's Manual					GM-MOVE_BACKUPS_OFFSITE(8)

NAME
       gm-move_backups_offsite - move GNUmed backups to elsewhere

SYNOPSIS
       gm-move_backups_offsite

DESCRIPTION
       The  gm-move_backups_offsite  script  can  be  used to move backups to another host, IOW storing them "offsite" in the loosest sense of the
       word.

EXAMPLE
       Imagine the following situation:

       1) a laptop running client and database which is
	  taken to the office, to patients, etc

       2) a desktop at home with some spare storage

       3) the laptop is occasionally connected to the home
	  network and thus has access to the desktop machine

       Given appropriate configuration of gm-move_backups_offsite one could add the following two lines to the cron script on the laptop  to  make
       sure database backups are replicated to the desktop whenever the laptop has access to it:

       @reboot	       /usr/bin/gm-move_backups_offsite.sh

       5 0-23 * * *    /usr/bin/gm-move_backups_offsite.sh

SEE ALSO
       /etc/gnumed/gnumed-backup.conf
