simple backup script

[Marcus Schopen <lists@localguru.de>]

Hi,

I'm looking for a simple backup script, which uses e.g. dd and 
additionally does some error handling and mail notification. I use 
amanda for my daily and weekly backups, but to feel more secure, I 
installed a second harddrive in my server today. Now I'm looking for a 
nice and secure script, which does a full backup of the first harddisk 
each day.

Secondly I'd like to do a fullbackup of a remote server, but I'm not 
sure what's the best way to do a e.g. a dd over the lokal network. May 
be the obove script could use for both.

Thanks,
Marcus
