Hi there !!

I got a little question;

My pruduction-server has been installed by another company, and i only started working with it since 3 months ago.. They also wrote a backup-script for oracle and unix. I have NO idea if it's a good backup it's doing, so could you smart guys look into this to see if it's O.K. ??? Thanx !!!

ViC
The backup-script;

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/do_backup - Make a backup
#

TMPLOG=/tmp/backup1.tmp
TMP2LOG=/tmp/backup2.tmp
BACKUPLOG=/usr/adm/backup.log

cd /
echo

"===========================================================================

" > $TMPLOG
echo "==============[ STARTING BACKUP RUN ON: `date +'%a %d-%b-%y %H:%M'` ]==============" >> $TMPLOG
echo

"===========================================================================

" >> $TMPLOG

echo "------------------------------------------------------" >> $TMPLOG
echo " ==> NOW STARTING     ORACLE EXPORT" >> $TMPLOG

su - oracle8 -c "exp system/manager FILE=/oracle/daily_export.dmp OWNER=edge
> $TMP2LOG 2>&1"

cat $TMP2LOG >> $TMPLOG
echo " ==> FINISHED ORACLE EXPORT `date +'%a %d-%b-%y %H:%M'`" >> $TMPLOG

echo "------------------------------------------------------" >> $TMPLOG
echo " ==> NOW STARTING     UNIX BACKUP" >> $TMPLOG
tar cvf /dev/rmt0 . > /dev/null 2>> $TMPLOG
echo " ==> FINISHED         UNIX BACKUP `date +'%a %d-%b-%y %H:%M'`" >>

$TMPLOG # Yep, device-files aren't backupped !
#
grep -v "0511-180" $TMPLOG >> $BACKUPLOG rm $TMPLOG
rm $TMP2LOG

# Eject the tape
mt offline
# Change backuplog owner
chown edge:edge $BACKUPLOG
