Automating UNIX backups?
Hi all,

I'm quite limited in UNIX unfortunately for me, and need to find a solution to something thats giving me headaches every morning. We need to make daily backups of a server we have in the office every morning, as well as then FTPing the created backup files over to a specific FTP address that sits outside the server (On the same LAN).

Can someone help with automating bith these tasks? I mean, could i set the backups to occur automatically every morning at say 07:00, and then executing an FTP (again, automatically) of these new files to a folder on another server within the same LAN?

If anyone can help, it wouldbe great!!

Thanks

DE049 ;-)
