I've never used 'dump' - it's not even installed by default.  For
backups I use 'find -newer' and cpio.  I tend to do weekly full backups
and daily incremental.

Thanks Per,

Any particular order? And, do you use  a batch file in CRON or both?

Best regards,
Jimmy

Something like this:

cd <dir to be backed up>
find . -newer lastbackup | \
tee lastbackup | cpio --create -H tar --block-size=128 | \
bzip2 -c >backup.bz2

I run this (and the rest of the script) via cron :

MAILTO=zink.anode@enidan.com
0 2 * * 1,2,3,4,5,6  root  <script> <directory>
0 2 * * 0            root  <script> <directory> full

When I run the full backup, I just touch the lastbackup file with
timestamp=19700101000000.

why not just

	... | tee lastbackup | tar -T- --no-r -cvjf backup.tbz2

then?

No particular reason - I've just always used cpio.  I didn't even know
tar had the -T option.

I have used dump (ufsdump for Solaris) for years.
The basic syntax to do a full backup is:

dump 0f <dump device> <filesystem>

Dump Device can be a tape device, filename, etc.
The file system is whatever file system you want to dump.  You can
either specify by the device (/dev/hda1) or by the name ( / ).

You can write a script to dump all file systems on your system,
something like this:

---cut---
!#/bin/sh

FS="/dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3"

for f in $FS; do
  dump 0f /dev/nrst0 $f
done
----cut---

In this case I used /dev/nrst0 as the dump device, the n specifies no
rewind and rst0 is a tape device.

You need to verify that dump is not filesystem type specific.

I use XFS primarily for my data and it comes with xfsdump.

This is true, dump really only works on ext2 and ext3 file systems.
