Message-ID: Date: 10 Jun 91 20:18:11 GMT References: Sender: news@imtws3.im.se Organization: Industri-Matematik Data AB, Sweden Lines: 20 In-reply-to: brendan@cs.widener.edu's message of 3 Jun 91 12:07:09 GMT I am usually sleeping. We have two Exabyte's, so we are running our backup scripts through cron. The script also sets the Exabyte's off line, after the read check of the tapes ore done. So nobody can mess upp our backups (Well if you have acess to the machine room...or......) Then in the morning i just check the mail from that script to verify, that it went okey. The only boring thing is to backup /, but it doesn't take that long time either. So then i stand in the machine room for 20 minutes or so looking stupid.
