i want to run automated backup copy , using crontab and how to do that?
the backup file should be taken from the sun server and put it in the client machine daily.pls help..
what os has the client? if unix, use nfs: tar and gz the files you want to backup and then copy them to the nfs mount... or, if it is a whole filesystem, do an ufsdump of that one...
Or you could use the automounter..
ie:
on Client type:
cd /net/server
server is Sun netra20
and client is sun blade 150 running solaris 9
pls leave the backup...i just need to daily download some files from a particular folder (server) to the client system automatically.
the file name is starting with for eg SSA20060501_1900.csv and like 24 files are there for a whole day.i need to zip it whole and download to client.
where ist the problem? share the folder with nfs and copy the files (after zip) to your workstation.... its very simple.
to share the folder look for the example in /etc/dfs/dfstab and follow the text...
the situation is....
i just want to zip the 24 hrs separate files into one file (from the server folder/home/scadm/reports/ ) and download to the client system (/home/scadm/reports) daily 12:00AM automatically.
