Remote backup solution for openSuSE
Question
I'm looking for some backup solution. My request is pretty simple:
- Source - FTP credentials (ftp://user:pass@server.tld/dir1/dir2)
- Destination on local HDD (/var/backup/server-tld)
- Possibility of packing to archive (tar.gz/zip)
- Plan this "script" as a cron job with defined period (e.g. once a day)
I know, that all this can be done using bash scripts, but it seems to be a little bit uncomfortable.
I don't believe there's no simple solution for this.
Solution
I've finally found a really "simple-to-use" solution:
ncftp
