<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi Anthony,
You can copy any one of the files like
/media/a/aBackup/alpha.13/alap/home/a/bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh over into
/home/a/bin/ as these are all identical backup copies of the same file.
Then after plugging in your external backup drive, you can run
/home/a/bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh (with no "." at the beginning) in a
terminal to make a new backup. Just be patient to let it finish.
Thanks,
Geoff Chesshire

/home/a/bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh (Does not exist). Manual: suggests the
program be run from terminal. Woould the following commend correct
./home/a/bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh Any suggestions?
Thanks,a
a@alap:~$ sudo find / -name rsnapshotBackup.sh
/home/a/.local/share/Trash/files/bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Hi Anthony,
I remember when Jason wrote the script in /home/a/bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh
that runs the rsnapshot backup commands. We were with you either at the
second street brewery or in our office. I think you had to leave before
the script could be thoroughly tested. It could possibly be improved,
but it should work.
The directory aBackup/ should exist on your external backup drive, so
that when you plug it into the USB port, it gets mounted at
/media/a/aBackup/ ... Then the backup script may be used to run the
(well-documented) rsnapshot utility to back up your home directory onto
your external backup drive. Obviously this works only if the external
backup drive is plugged into the USB port.
Thanks,
Geoff Chesshire

The referenced trash item, /bin/rsnapshotBackup.sh was last accessed
july 19 (in properties) the same date of my last backup file #20 what
do you think put it in the file system and let it rip? The numbered
files13-17 i imagine identify the previous backup up numbered files
corresponding to that on the external drive,i haven't checked if the
external referenced files have content (aside: my backup up external
disk was connected to the computer,relevant?). the presenting problem
manifested by an intermediate "file" flashing on for a fractional
second. i have restored the original icon when i initially copied the
icon content it contained: /rsnapshotBackup.sh that same code
content. what I find missing is the parapathetic flash then disapear
page. which when pressing a small bar which then began the external
save.
Jason, who seems to be on hiatus, originally installed intalled
aBackup, which speaks to its merit. Searching independently I could
find no supporting text for aBackup. Akkana thanks for your interest.

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Maybe. But it might not be the one you want. It looks like you have
several files called rsnapshotBackup.sh:

So you have the one in the Trash, plus five more in various places
under /media/a/aBackup.
That one in the Trash could be a really old one. I don't know what
rsnapshotBackup.sh -- does it restore from an old backup? In that
case, the one in the Trash could be a super old one, or a bad one
that didn't work right.
I would guess that the one in /media/a/aBackup/alpha.17 is the
newest, but I wouldn't assume that without looking at the dates
on all six of the files.
Personally, I'd be leery of using backup software that (a) doesn't
have documentation that clearly tells you where to find the restore
files, and (b) stores things in directories named "alpha". Alpha
usually means very early software that hasn't been tested much and
should only be considered experimental. But that's just me.
You should definitely make an offline copy of any files on your disk
that are really important to you -- e.g. copy them to an external
hard drive, and then unplug the hard drive -- before running any
shell script where you're not sure exactly what it does, and where
you're choosing from six different versions of the script without
being sure why there are six of them.
