Backups to Second HDD

[xcensus]

Hi,

If I issue the command within server shell..

symlink /home/reseller_username/user_backups to /backup/reseller_username

Mean that when the reseller makes his backup they go to my second hdd which is mounted as backup, within the resellers own directory ?

It should, although depending on your OS it may be the ln command.

You should be able to tell the backup script where you want to back the files up to so that this is not necassary.

Hi,

Im using CentOS which uses the LN command, but I cnnot figure out how to map /resellerdir/user_backups to /backups/resellerdir/user_backups

How do I do this please ?

Or, how do I modify the backup script so it automatically uses /backup/resellerdir/

Well, create a Symbolic Link (first the real dir has to be deleted) and then link it to the dir.

LN --help should get you going

or man LN

It would probaly be something lik LN -s /backup/user_backup /home/user/user_backup
