Hello, I am new to korn shell. There is a file that gets produced every night and I want to automatically transfer this from unix to a windows shared area without any manual intervention. Does anyone know how I can do this via command line or has anyone got a script that I could use. Thanks

use rsync do a man on it.or read here. I do local backups on several of my machines using rsync. I have an extra disk installed that can hold all the contents of the main disk. I then have a nightly cron job that backs up the main disk to the backup. This is the script I use on one of those machines. #!/bin/sh export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin LIST="rootfs usr data data2" for d in $LIST; do mount /backup/$d rsync -ax --exclude fstab --delete /$d/ /backup/$d/ umount /backup/$d done DAY=`date "+%A"` rsync -a --delete /usr/local/apache /data2/backups/$DAY rsync -a --delete /data/solid /data2/backups/$DAY The first part does the backup on the spare disk. The second part backs up the critical parts to daily directories. I also backup the critical parts using a rsync over ssh to a remote machine

Hi, rsync is the one way. another way is using samba. share the file system in the unix in which all your backup will be placed. those files/folders can be access by all windows who have access to the unix machine.

Same question is asked to me some time back too. Solution is described on http://kesharwani.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_kesharwani_archive.html Mukesh Kesharwani CISSP, CCNA, SCSA,CUA,CNA, MCSE,MCP+I,CCNSE,Certified HIPPA Security http://www.keekar.com
