I have a very simple backup script which runs every night save_date=`date +%Y%m%d` filename=/mnt/backups/backup_$save_date.tar cd /srv tar –cvf $filename ./* gzip $filename Works a dandy… except that about 3 days a week it doesn’t
do the zip step and I end up with a rather large tar file and a message in my
mail saying File Input/Output Error Does anyone know what may cause this? The remote box is a
windows box (NTFS partition) if that matters. I’m assuming I’ll just tar/zip locally then copy
over, but I’d prefer to do it on the remote drive if that’s
possible. |
