Mail backups

Your /home/wise/username/.procmailrc should contain following line:

INCLUDERC=/etc/procmailrc.mailbck

/var/spool/mail.bck/daily/'day'

Contains the mail of the users which arrived at date 'day'

Note:
/var/spool/mail.bck has no write permission.
Therefore you can't use pine to read your mail there. Use either
more /var/spool/mail.bck/'date'/'username' or copy the file to your own directory.

Full mail backup is done every week and saved in:

/var/spool/mail.bck/full_new

Directory Backups

Our local computers are backuped on local hard disks, connected either to the local computer or to another server.

The names of the backup disks are: /bckdisk_'SERVER', and the backup of hostname 'CLIENT' is stored in:

/bckdisk_'SERVER'/'CLIENT', which is accessable to 'CLIENT' with the automounter.

Example:

'lyra' is backuped on the disk connected to wise-bck. In order to look at the backups, just type in lyra:

cd /bckdisk_wise-bck/lyra

Full backups are done once a month, and 2 full backups are kept in :

• /bckdisk_'SERVER'/'CLIENT'/new/full
• /bckdisk_'SERVER'/'CLIENT'/old/full

Incremental backups are done every day (saving files which have changed since the last incremental backup).

and kept in

• /bckdisk_'SERVER'/'CLIENT'/new/incremental/'day'
• /bckdisk_'SERVER'/'CLIENT'/old/incremental/'day'

Notes:

1. The time of last incremental and last full is available in the directory /etc/backups of each client.
2. Backuped partitions and/or directories are listed in 'CLIENT':/etc/backup.'CLIENT'
3. Each partition or directory which appears in /etc/backup.'CLIENT' contains a file 'exclude.lis', which contains strings of either filenames or directories to be excluded fromt the backup. Default: tmp,Cache,*CACHE*,core.*
