Hi In a LAN-setup, where I have Linux-server with M$ workstations, I have the following entry in /etc/cron.daily: #!/bin/bash #First, mount all the drives with smbmount /root/bin/mounttaa.sh #Now start to copy everything that is new to local HD cp -Rup /mnt/anneli/* /var/backup/anneli cp -Rup /mnt/kaisa/* /var/backup/kaisa cp -Rup /mnt/marge/* /var/backup/marge cp -Rup /mnt/nimeton/* /var/backup/nimeton cp -Rup /mnt/tero/* /var/backup/tero #done, umount everything /root/bin/umounttaa.sh This is very basic and easy to setup For more advanced setup, You could use "tripwire", that comes also with latest SuSE distros.

Hi All,
We have a situation where we have a primary file server, and a back up one, what I would like to do is sync up changes from the primary file server (directory /somestuff for example) with the backup server's /somestuff directory. Ala, any files that have been changed on the primary get copied to the backup machine say once a day?
I know mirroring HD's in the same system would be a better way to go, but has someone done something like this before?
