Description
A simple BASH script to do nightly backups to tarballs to a seperate hard drive (not to tape). Supports full and incremental backups. Ideal for linux home users to easily backup all or parts of their system, provided they have an extra hard drive.

I've used this script many times on many machines over the last 10 years. It's still a great tool. On my qmail servers, I make one adjustment to the email notification section. Original: then cat $LOGFILE | mail -s "$EMAILSUBJECT" $EMAILADDRESS Change to: then echo -e "Subject: <your server> Backup Completed Successfully\n" | cat - $LOGFILE | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject $EMAILADDRESS Maybe folks will find that useful. --Jeff

Nice script ported it to OSX 10.6 , made some minor adjustements. Time Machine is OK but always like a script.
