Re: Archive to disk

Have a look at script below. Feel free to modify, if required. It works ok with Linux and IDS 9.40.UC3. NB: 1. This script calls another shell script to transfer file to network drive. Either comment is out that line or include your own. 2. Don't forget to change TAPEDEV in onconfig ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash #-------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Title : backup2disk.sh # Author: Hari Gupta # Dated : 07-02-2005 # Notes : This script will perform Level 0 archive to disk file.
