backup script changes permissions
I'be brought up my backup script for discussion before, and folks where
helpful in solving a problem, but the solution created another. Now all
files backed up have their ownerships changed to me, brownh:brownh.
Here's the old script, which had the problem that output was going to a
mail message that quickly exceeded system limits, and then caused the
backup process to terminate:
find / -print | egrep -v "^/media|^/proc|^/sys|^/mnt" | cpio -pdmuv
/media/mirror/"$dirName" > 2>&1 | cat -vt
Here's the new script which only sends an error message:
find / -print | egrep -v "^/media|^/proc|^/sys" | cpio -pdmuv
/media/mirror/"$dirName" 2>&1 | cat -vT >/home/brownh/.backup.log
However, it seems to convert ownership of all files backed up to
brownh:brownh.
