Backup 32MB.ORG to Dropbox

Posted July 18, 2012, 1:25 am in How To
There are lots of backup method out there, one of my fav is backup my VPS to a free storage service from Dropbox. I'm using a script from Dave Hope, based on another script from Andrea Fabrizi. Run it as root, or you can automate it using Crontab. It looks like I have something to report about using pre tag here, meanwhile you can download the script here.

Save the script as DropboxBackup.sh chmod +x and run it as root. If you want to automate it, create new Crontab as follow:

$ crontab -e
# m h  dom mon dow   command
0 0 1 * *       /bin/bash /path/to/DropboxBackup.sh
That will auto backup-ing your specified folder once in a month.
