#305029 - 11/12/2007 16:02 Backup utility for Linux?
tahir pooh-bah Registered: 27/02/2004 Posts: 1919 Loc: London	I'm looking for something that I can use to backup data to a NAS, something like this would be typical: Source: //mail/scalix/ all subdirectories excluding //mail/scalix/temp Destination: //data1/Daily/scalix I'm average to poor at batch files so wondered whether there's a non scripted solution (on Windows I use an application called PTReplicator from http://www.karenware.com) on Linux (RedHat). If there's nothing like that around where can I find a good primer on scripting?
