Backup Facility --------------- This is a simple backup facility based initially on full dumps each night. It requires the use of the tapelib package to label and check the tapes. backup_daily is a program run daily from the crontab. do.full.backup actually performs the backup according to its arguments. It is called by backup_daily. It contains a specific command for each file system which needs to be backed up. As file systems changes, so must do.full.backup be altered accordingly. do.full.backup performs some minor checks on a tape after a backup. It also checks to make sure that any symbolic-links (up to two levels deep) under '/home' are not pointing to file system that is not backed up. see: man backup, for a detailed description.
