Backup Scripts

Attached below is a one-script Linux backup solution (with configuration file) built on dump/restore and ssh, using an authorized_keys for the remote user. I use it to do nightly incrementals and weekend fulls.

This script has saved my bacon three times now with disk crashes. The restore is easy via ssh and restore (see the script itself for example invocation, since it does a dump over ssh, then runs restore as a cross-check to dump the table of contents). You can get ssh and restore off a live linux CD (knoppix), one-floppy linuxes or the like.
