Backup advice

[Martin Schweizer]

Hello

I use FreeBSD 6.x and do a snapshot on full file system. Here is my
script which I use:

#!/bin/sh


# Cyrus, Sasl, Apache, APC, fwanalog, majordomo, Squirrelmail etc.
/bin/cp -R /usr/local/etc /usr/backup/usr/local
/bin/cp -R /usr/local/www /usr/backup/usr/local
/bin/cp -R /usr/local/majordomo /usr/backup/usr/local
/bin/cp /usr/local/sbin/fw* /usr/backup/usr/local/sbin
/bin/cp -R /var/spool/squirrelmail /usr/backup/var/spool

# Kopiert eine Kopie von sasldb2.db
/bin/cp /usr/local/etc/sasldb2.db /usr/home/martin
/usr/sbin/chown martin:wheel /usr/home/martin/sasldb2.db


# Erstellt eine Klartext-Datei von Cyrus mboxlist

/usr/bin/su cyrus -c '/usr/local/cyrus/bin/ctl_mboxlist -d > /tmp/mailboxes.txt'
/bin/cp /tmp/mailboxes.txt /usr/backup

# Erstellt den Snapshot
/sbin/mksnap_ffs /usr /usr/snap

# Mountet den Snapshot
/sbin/mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /usr/snap -u 4
/sbin/mount -r /dev/md4 /mnt

/usr/bin/tar -cjf /usr/backup/cyrus.tar.bz2 /mnt/imap
# /usr/bin/tar -cjf /usr/backup/cyrus2.tar.bz2 /var/imap

# Löst /mnt wieder auf
/sbin/umount /mnt
/sbin/mdconfig -d -u 4

# Löscht den Snapshot
/bin/rm -f /usr/snap

exit 0

Regards,
