GNU tar has -g option to create incremental backups. To make full backup on every sunday, enter:
tar -zcvf /backup/full.tar.gz /home To make incremental backup enter: Code:
NOW=$(date +"%d-%m-%Y") i=$(date +"%Hh%Mm%Ss") FILE="i.$NOW-$i.tar.gz" tar -g /root/gnutar.incremental.txt -zcvf /backup/$FILE /home Code:
man tar
