RE: [cobalt-users] Backing Up

["Andy Jacobs" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for that Jeroen.  I will save this and start using it.  I've got 2
Raqs.  I assume this is run as a script every night or something?  Could it
be altered so that after it has done all this it copies all the tar files
that have been created to another server?

Of course, I was hoping for the backup fairy to be watching this list, waver
her magic wand and I would wake up this morning to find all the work done
for me.  The fact that I was up until 3am and then back in the office at
7.30 would indicate that I don't have much faith in the backup fairy :o)

Andy
