Re: Wiki?

[Etienne Grossmann]

  Hi All,

a slight modif. of Laurent's script, I'm putting this to run daily -
it seems to work.

======================================================================
#!/bin/bash

# wiki dir and location
baksrc=octave-wiki
srcwhere=/home/etienne/public_html

# backup location and name
bakdir=/home/etienne/public_html
bakfile=octave-wiki-bak.tar.gz

# number of backups
nbak=4

# Rotate previous backups

[ -f $bakdir/$bakfile.$nbak ] && rm -f $bakdir/$bakfile.$nbak
for ((i=$nbak; $i>0; i--)) ; do
    j=$(($i-1))
    [ -f $bakdir/$bakfile.$j ] && mv $bakdir/$bakfile.$j $bakdir/$bakfile.$i
done

# Create new backup
tar czf $bakdir/$bakfile.0 -C $srcwhere $baksrc
======================================================================

  Anyone willing can wget

    http://omni.isr.ist.utl.pt/~etienne/octave-wiki-bak.tar.gz.0 

and put the wiki in a safe. Comments, suggestions welcome.

  Hth,

  Etienne
