Post by: kulwinderdhillon on May 22, 2007, 01:36:08 PM

hi

I have doing a project for my university and have got SME Server and 2 XP clients. For the last part of the project i have to backup the server on every weekend and save the file on the harddrive using a Script.
and i have log everyone logging on to the server and their activity. Above all i have to keep a check on the logfiles that they grow beyond a particular size. and when reach the specified file size the server shoud start with a new file and archive the old one.

Have to do all this using the Scripts. As i have no idea about the Linux platform cant do much.

So any one of u can HELP me out it would be highy appriciated

For the size of the log, you should look at logrotate's documentation. By default, most of the logs are rotated on a time basis, not size, but I think you can change this (with custom-templates).
For the backup, you've the choice between several contributions, I personnaly use backuppc, but affa seems to be interesting too. You can test which ones match your needs
