Ok I've been trying to work out a way to backup two seperate area's of data.
1. Two Email accounts. These two email accounts are IMAP accounts and are basically backups of all Incoming and Outgoing emails for every user.
2. I have Hylafax installed and would like to backup all the received and sent faxes. These are stored in the /var/spool/fax/recvq and sendq if I remember correctly.
What needs to happen is that these need to be compressed or something along those lines and then copied to a mount on a Windows NT machine to be included in a daily tape backup.
I think I could handle the whole archiving and copying side of things. But E-smiths Cron scripts are a mystery to me. I could do it in a normal Linux distribution like slackware no problems. But how do I customize the cron scripts with out breaking anything?
thanks in advance.
