SuSE uses the following scripts:

Descriptions are located within the scripts. backup_search.pl "feeds" into backup_archive.pl.
I have just tried it, but it failed. I get this kind of output: nimrodel:~ # time yast_backup b Storing hostname: Success Storing date: Success Storing partition table Partition tables info read Stored partition: hda Stored partition: hdb Storing list of installed packages Packages stored: Success Creating archive: Unknown text in input file: Reading installed packages Unknown text in input file: Packages: 1205 Unknown text in input file: Size: 27 /etc/issue.net Unknown text in input file: Size: 3515 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/encodings.dir Unknown text in input file: Size: 3515 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/encodings.dir Unknown text in input file: Size: 13893 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/fonts.dir ...and continues for every file listed, not a single one is accepted. What parameters do you feed to backup_search.pl? I have used: /usr/lib/YaST2/bin/backup_search.pl --output-default --search \ --exclude-dir /tmp --exclude-dir /var/lock --exclude-dir /var/run \ --exclude-dir /var/tmp --exclude-dir /var/cache \ --exclude-dir /backup \ ... --exclude-dir /usr/local/update \ --exclude-dir /srv/ftp/pub/suseupdate \ --exclude-dir /var/lib/YaST2/you/i386/update \ --exclude-fs devpts --exclude-fs proc --exclude-fs rootfs --exclude-fs shm \ --exclude-fs usbdevfs --exclude-fs vfat \ | tee YastBackupList It seems that the output file "YastBackupList" I created is not what "backup_archive.pl" is expecting. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
