backup the entire server

[Burke, Thomas G.]

tar -zcvf <backupname.tgz> <directories_to_backup - can be />
 
(man tar)
 
Careful, max file size is 2GB, so you may need to write a script to back up directories separately & make multiple tar files.

Subject: backup the entire server



Hi guys, 

I have database server Informix running on RedHat and I am looking for 
a script that backs up the entire server to hard drive. Not just the 
DB but everything, including db as well. I need to compress the files 
as well. 

Or any free utility or program would be great as well. 

I am open to any suggestion. 

Thank you in advance. 

Genti
