Thanks for all the replies :) I'll try it tomorrow. Once that works I'll look into making it a cron job to run the same time as I do t manually now.. about 6pm on a Sunday.Hi All,I have four partitions I backup weekly to a USB drive using rsync and I'd like to automate it with a bash script. Looking online I can't quite work out if the following would work:#!/bin/sh # MINT /rsync -aAXv /* /media/julian/ARTEMIS/MINT --exclude={/dev/*,/proc/*,/sys/*,/tmp/*,/run/*,/mnt/*,/media/*,/lost+found,/home/*}# MINT /home rsync -aAXv /home* /media/julian/ARTEMIS/MINT_HOME # WINDOWS XP rsync -aAXv /media/julian/NATALIE /media/julian/HECATE/WINDOWS_XP # WINDOWS 7 rsync -aAXv /media/julian/WINDOWS7 /media/julian/HECATE/WINDOWS_7 # WINDOWS My Documents rsync -aAXv /media/julian/CYNTHIA /media/julian/HECATE/WINDOWS_DOCUMENTSWould it run the first command, wait until it's finished, and then run the next in sequence, or try to run it all at once? Probably a really stupid question as all my prior programming experience says it would run each command and wait, but never having used a bash script I thought i would ask the experts first :)Kind regards, Julian
Julian PS I know.. I can't count.. 5 partitions :) -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
