Title: Desktop backup script question
Post by: ChrisB on January 30, 2004, 06:16:48 PM

What directories and files locations need to be archived in a custom backup script to be compatible with the restore from desktop command? Basically, what I need to do is duplicate the script that creates the gzip/tar file created by the backup to desktop script. I need to recreate this, so the rest of my custom script can burn this using mkisofs and cdrtools to burn the backup to a DVD-R. The later part of this I have working, it is the first part I need some help with. I need the backups to be restorable using the restore from desktop.

If there was a way to run that script from the command line and have it save to a location in say /var/tmp then I can take it from there. Or where do I find the script to maybe try and figure out what gets backed up, and its final structure.

Thanks.
