This is a collection of backup scripts for GNU/Linux.
This includes simple backup mechanisms for directories like /home and /etc and other things like MySQL dump. They are aiming on root servers most likely running on Debian GNU/Linux.
For a more advanced usage you might want to use duplicity.
Creates a dump from all MySQL databases on the host. Reads password from /etc/mysql/debian.cnf
Creates GPG encrypted backups (e.g. for unencrypted transfers like ftp)
Creates backups via rsync (/home, /root, /etc, /var)
Simple calls for a duplicity based backup script.
