DCO backup to additional location

[DCIM_Support]

Hi,

Currently DCO allows daily backup to 1 location.

Is it possible to use schedule cron job to copy the backup file to another extra location.

If yes, how do we do it ?

Thanks

Hi Francis,

Rather than copying the backup file, how about setting the backup to the remote location instead?

You can mount the remote location, and then set the backup to be done there.

I've already successfully configured to backup to the mounted NFS.

But We wanted to backup to 2 NFS. In the Webmin backup, I can only select to backup to 1 location.

Something like 1 schedule to NFS folder1, and 2nd schedule to a different NFS folder 2?

I don't think that is available from the DCO webmin itself.

Might be possible by defining it directly on the cron job itself, from console...

Any idea how to do it ?

Especially considering the first mounted NFS folder will have multiple backup and the 2nd cron job should just copy the latest backup to the 2nd mounted NFS folder.

Have not tried this, but cron and rsync should do the trick:

https://superuser.com/questions/208591/rsync-n-newest-files-in-a-directory

rsync -a /origin /destination

and then schedule it to run with cron by running crontab -e and specifying

0 0 * * * /usr/bin/rsync -a /origin /destination

Followed your instructions to console in and run the crontab -e and added the following code

0 0 * * * /usr/bin/rsync -a --delete /origin/ /destination

This will make the origin and destination directory in sync. After doing it, I found that it also appear in the webmin Scheduled Cron Jobs.

So I believe that we can just enter the command directly in the cron job from webmin without going into the console.

/usr/bin/rsync -a --delete /origin/ /destination
