I’ve been meaning to document this in case I need to re-create the backup schedule, as well as to have a place I can quickly check to find out when what gets done.

– A DualLayer DVD backup has been made of both Music and Photos in July 2008 using software called “Backup Platinum 4.0“. It sorts out how much data it puts on each disk to fill it up without truncating data, while preserving the original directory tree. Exactly what I needed. Only downside is that it runs on windows.

Work Folder
– Nightly at 12:00 a backup (rsync cron job) of the Work folder gets done to the external usb HD.

Music folder
– Nightly at 1:00am a backup (rsync cron job) of the Music folder gets done to the external HD

Photo folder
– Nightly at 2:00am a backup (rsync cron job) of the Photo folder gets done to the external HD
