1. Create a user "backup" at the home site of the target raq. This
user should have a large quota (2000 MB minimum per source raq).

2. Install the Cobalt Migration Utitlity Package at least on the
source raq. You can download CMU from
http://www.cobalt.com/support/download/migration.html

3. Then copy the following file backup.sh as root to
/etc/cron.<something> and make it executeable (chmod 700 backup.sh).


#### backup.sh located in cron.daily ###############################

#!/bin/sh

QUELLE="hostname-of-source.raq.com"
ZIEL="hostname-of-target.raq.com"

rm -rf /home/cmu/$QUELLE
rm /home/cmu/cmuLog
/usr/sbin/cmuExport
cd /home/cmu/$QUELLE

ftp -i -n $ZIEL  <<!EOF!
user backup passwordofuserbackup

mkdir $QUELLE.bak
cd $QUELLE.bak
mdelete *
cd ..
rmdir $QUELLE.bak
rename $QUELLE $QUELLE.bak

mkdir $QUELLE
cd $QUELLE

ascii
put cmu.xml
put backup.md5lst

binary
mput *gz

quit
!EOF!

4. Be sure to modify backup.sh:
   - change lines 3 (source raq) and 4 (target raq)
   - change the password for user backup (line 12)

5. After two days you'll have two backup-versions (the cmuexport from
today and yesterday) per source raq on your target raq:

/home/sites/users/backup/hostname-of-source.raq.com/
/home/sites/users/backup/hostname-of-source.raq.com.bak/

6. You'll get a email with the cmuexport-output to
admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

7. The script runs fine since eight months under raq3 and raq4.
There is no need to stop any services on the source-raq. Of course
there's no warranty :-)
