A lot of things you're asking for can be accomplished with a script I've |
18 |
used (and successfully recovered with) called a stage 4 backup [1]. It's |
19 |
just your standard bash script that uses tar, gzip, bzip2, etc. to create |
20 |
manageable backups. I have my server set to backup once a month (I don't |
21 |
make significant changes to it very often). |
