README for uback - the unix backup scripts
$Revision: 1.6 $ $Author: scip $
==========================================


Introduction
------------

This is a collection of simple backup srcripts
for full and incremental backups using tar on
hard disks.

You must modify the scripts if you wish to use
a tapedrive instead (bin/full and bin/incremental).

All scripts are controlled by one script called
"uback". Type "uback --help" for more information.





Installation
------------

First run "./configure" which will create a uback.conf
for your site. Then edit the Makefile to suit your
needs and type "make" and afterwards "make install"
to install the scripts.

Edit /etc/uback.conf and /etc/uback.d/* and
add the cronjobs which the "make install" command
output has suggested.

If you are updating a previous installation of uback,
then use "make update" instead of "make install"!



Documanteation
--------------

After installing of the software read the uback manual
page by typing "man uback".

You can also send me an email if you have still
unanswered questions: <tom@daemon.de>.
