MANUAL FOR AUTOMATED BACKUP THROUGH NFS

---------------------------------------

Things to Do:-
Here are two script file coding is given you have to
copy its content to a new file with server_copy.sh
and client_copy.sh respectively..

Scripts :-
1. server_copy.sh
2. client_copy.sh

NOTE
-----
- During script execution pay special attention to the output.
- Jot down all the enteries which you enter during the script running
as undoing is not possible after any entered text
- Do not rename client_copy.sh
- Do not confuse with Client or Slave keywords both reference to the
Second machine
- This script is made to take backup hourly...

NEED
-----
The basic need for this type of backup is concerned for few machines.
Where Server will be your main Machine which has important data and
Slave(Client) machine which will required when main machine some how
stop working.

DISCLMAIR
----------
I have run these scripts on RHEL5 machines and never got stuck, but i'm
not guranteed with other Linux machines so i will not be responsible
for any damage to your machine or leak of data. So you have to run
these scripts on your own risk.

For any suggestion, queries and bugs you are always welcomed at

HOW TO START
------------
- Copy both .sh files to the main server then execute server_copy.sh
# sh server_copy.sh
or,
# ./server_copy.sh
