[tabanna <tabanna@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Am trying to get Cron to run this backup script.
What, please, is wrong with this  ?   :-

../sysbak: line 8: syntax error near unexpected token `{}'
./sysbak: line 8: `exec tar clf - . | ( umask 0; cd /mnt; tar xvf - )   {} \; 
>/dev/null 2>&1'

........................

this is what the whole script is :-

.................................
#!/bin/sh
#
# use tar to clone /hda7 to /dev/hda6
#
mount /dev/hda6 /mnt
df
cd /
exec tar clf - . | ( umask 0; cd /mnt; tar xvf - )   {} \; >/dev/null 2>&1
cd
cp /mnt/etc/fstab.orig /mnt/etc/fstab
df
umount /mnt
cd

..............................................................


 thanks    :)


best wishes
