I am trying to create a backup of hobbit so in case the box is stolen, blown
up, disappear, vanishes into thin air or even the boogey monster steals it,
I can recover with a secondary box in a matter of minutes - hours at most.
What I had done with BB was simply backup the entire user's home directory.
I had this done every single morning. Each gzipped tar was a mere 15 megs.
When I do a du -shc /home/user it reaches 1021M and in
/home/user/server/bin/ du -shc core* I see 860M. What are these core*
files?
Does anyone have any suggestions on what to backup? I don't have the luxury
of using tapes or another machine on the same LAN, so I am transporting this
data over the Internet. While bandwidth is not a concern, I'd much rather
not have to transport a gigabyte every morning =)
Thanks in advance,
Josh
