4 # Backup up Unix-like computers
8 # This script was first checked into RCS in 2000, and has since backed up a few
9 # servers almost every day, whenever not broken.
11 # It's a bit peculiar, but quite effective. The following is worth keeping in
14 # KISS. And by that I mean really simple. Only regular Unix commands, please
15 # (but GNU extensions are used and moreutils has to be installed).
17 # Because of the way we run this script from cron, informational logging goes
18 # to stderr and warnings and errors to stdout. This way, we get mail whenever
19 # stuff fails, and other output is redirected to the log file.
21 # The script is halfway Norwegian and halfway English. Newer modifications are
22 # in English, we should probably stick to that.
