You can’t run it on ksh since it’s written in bash (obviously). Furthermore the version of bash you might have on AIX might be too ancient to work (last time I used AIX at any rate).

How do I run this script on AIX (ksh)?

Thanks

Seems to be a problem: out-of-the-box Debian Squeeze. No configuration change after install other than attempting to setup this system.

i think you really need very good back up systems so that your system gives very reliable system functioning, this is very needed

So that means $backup_dir is set to /home/user/backup. And in there the script is looking for files called something.lst. A file like that defines a recipe for a backup. And that’s what the error message means, it can’t find any .lst files.

I am not able to use the script. I get this error:
ls: cannot access /home/user/backup/*.lst: No such file or directory
All I have to do is
./full_system_backup.sh
right?

Ney…

Norton Ghost is decent because it backs up boot loader as well, and it does more than that.

Using Linux does not mean you are privileged to be biased.

Very good and very easy solution, for backup on a running system;
Yes, boot sector could be added, but for me and for now, it’s no vital.

Good work and good tutorial ***********
