Hi Keith,

This is what i do for backup (seen it somewhere in this group, put it in a
shell script):

-----------------------------------------------------
## Start Backup Script Created by Peter ##
# Run a backup of the GUI database #
cd /opt
/usr/local/sbin/cobalt_prebackup

# Move the GUI backup to a safe location #
gzip /var/cobalt/backups/cce.tar
mv /var/cobalt/backups/cce.tar.gz /opt

# Create the actual backup file #
tar zcfv backuppop1.tar.gz /var /etc /usr /root /.nsr /nsr /home
## End Backup Script ##
-----------------------------------------------------

The next stuff is to restore the backup:
-----------------------------------------------------
## Start Restore Script Created by Peter ##
cd /
# Restore the actual backup file #
tar zxfv /opt/backuppop1.tar.gz

# Move the backup to the original location #
cd /opt
gunzip cce.tar.gz
mv /opt/cce.tar /var/cobalt/backups/

# Restore the backup of the GUI database #
/usr/local/sbin/cobalt_postbackup
## End Restore Script ##
-----------------------------------------------------

It will probably backup too much, but it works.
