How can I do to backup and restore my e-mails, addressbook and bookmarks.
I cron a job to backup key directories. Then you have tarballs you can put onto floppies/CDs/tapes/other servers/etc. Feel free to use the script below. - -- #!/bin/bash ## Jonathan Lim 2002-01-23 ## This file will backup the given directories in the user's home directory ## usage: backup.sh Mail .kde work programming ## Archive directory archive_dir="$HOME/archive" ## Determine date datestamp=$(date +%Y%m%d); ## Loop through all the directories passed for dir in $@ do thisdirectory="$HOME/$dir" if [ -d "$thisdirectory" ] then cd $HOME tar cvzf $archive_dir/${dir#\.}.$datestamp.tar.gz $dir fi done -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE9BLU5AbE84SqoMZERAty3AJ9vS3wu13ftGGOEKlQX+lnljIreCACfY7RS oda//oDv0PkuYE7wen3zQl4= =m+8/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
