AUTHOR: Timothy J. Luoma <luomat@peak.org> DATE: 11 Nov 1996 VER: backup 1.0.0 find2backup 1.0.0 Purpose: To find and backup any file which has changed since "FILE" was created. WARNINGS: 1) Use at your own risk 2) 'backup' should be run as root 3) this program uses the !!!GNU!!! version of "find" which is not included in the standard distribution, but can be found (as source code) at ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu. 4) YOU MUST EDIT BOTH SCRIPTS TO BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR MACHINE. This is not hard, but CRUCIAL. Reading through the scripts it should be obvious what needs to be changed. If not, the program will fail. 5) For the initial startup, you must provide the name of a file which is used as the "starting point". THIS FILE WILL BE REMOVED AND REPLACED by this script. Make a copy of some file and use that. 6) This is the first release. I don't know where things are unclear, because I wrote it myself. I am hoping for feedback in order to improve this script. THANKS TO (in no particular order): Michael Hardy <mikeh@cam-ani.co.uk> Jacob Nielsen <jacob@dannug.dk> "Randall J. Rencsok" <rencsok@channelu.com> Tom Hageman <tom@basil.icce.rug.nl> Art Isbell <aisbell@ix.netcom.com> Christian Limpach <Christian.Limpach@nice.ch> for their help with some early questions in the development of this script. However, none of them are to blame for the end result. FUTURE: Include a 4fat version of GNUfind Improve easy-to-use quality
