zivan56 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Since the mac's are based on unix you can set up a CRON job every day on them. Just simply make a script to do the following#!/bin/bashtar cvjf /Disk/Mount/backup.tar.gz /System /Home /etcThen it would compress and back up the /system /Home /etc folder to the file which would then be saved to a mounted Windows share (assuming /Disk/Mount/ is where the windows share is mounted on the macs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
