Hammer & Screwdriver System Backup of physical servers Linux
Dears,

I'm developing a system backup of physical servers database and Linux operating system. ShellScripts have 3, one for backup (tar), one for monitoring and one for purge.

Do these backup in a system of Dell DR4100 for NFS, backup scripts is fully dynamic and can put on any server that already backs up and causes the place and the DR / NFS also log.

I need to keep 4 types of backups daily, weekly, monthly and annual
For daily backup always have to keep records and purge the 6 from the previous week, for example a daily backup from Tuesday will only remove next Tuesday after the completion of the backup, since I have to keep the weekly and 5 records deregister previous eg weekly backup of the first week I will only remove after completion of the first weekly backup of next week and so on ... but I have some rules, every Saturday is weekly, every last day of the month is monthly, last day of the year is annual and is always remaining daily, this rule did already using functions in shell only for backup, but I can not do the monitoring.

I'm asking for help from you guys to know how do a monitoring system where the shell checks these rules?

Sorry for the garbled English ...

Thank you for now Smilie

backup-manager

backup-manager(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 backup-manager(8)

NAME

       backup-manager - An easy to use backup tool for your Linux box.

SYNOPSIS

	 backup-manager [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Backup Manager is an easy-to-use tool for generating archives.

       It is designed with simplicity in mind for those who don't want an obfuscated tool for making tarballs.

       There  are  different  methods  for  building  archives: tarballs, incremental tarballs, mysql dumps, svn dump. You can also write your own
       method with a generic method that will execute a command and will archive its output.

       Every times you run Backup Manager, you can upload archives thanks to a couple of upload methods: through FTP, SSH or even with RSYNC.

       It's also possible to export your archives to removable media like CDR or DVD.

CONFIGURATION FILES

       Backup Manager's behavior is defined in configuration files. You can use different configuration files at the same time.  The default  con-
       figuration file is `/etc/backup-manager.conf'.

       An  example  should  have  been	provided  with	the  program,  most  of  the time it's installed in `/usr/share/backup-manager/backup-man-
       ager.conf.tpl'.

       If you want exhaustive details about how to  write  your  own  configuration  files,  please  refer  to	the  Backup  Manager  User  Guide:
       http://www.backup-manager.org/documentation/user-guide/

OPTIONS

       --version Show the version number.

       --verbose|-v Print what happens to STDOUT.

       --no-warnings Disable warnings.

       --help|-h Print a short help message.

       --upload|-u Just upload the files.

       --purge|-p Just purge old archives.

       --burn|-b Just burn the archives.

       --md5check|-m Just perform the MD5 checkup on the CDR/CDRW.

       --conffile|-c file Use an alternate config file.

       --force|-f Force overwrite of existing archives.

       --no-upload Disable the uploading process.
