This week I updated the full backup page. We jumped from version 0.4 to 0.8.
Thanks to my colleagues: Raf, Fred and Jos the script is updated to meet our requirements.

Here are some of the major features added to the newest version:

• You can choose if you want to keep a history (= full weekly backups and daily incrementals) or only 1 backup.
• All information will be written to a logfile which can be mailed to some addresses when the script is done (previously this was done by an extra command in the cron).
• After the backup we will check the size of the local data and the size of the backup, printed to the logfile.
• We will check the free space on the backupdisk and print it to the logfile.

The behavior of the script can be configured with the variables at the top of the script.
