SYNOPSIS

10       gm-zip+sign_backups

DESCRIPTION

14       The  gm-zip+sign_backups  script  compresses  and signs GNUmed database
15       backups.
16
17       It is a really good idea to use it  in  a  daily  cron/anacron  job  to
18       ensure that GNUmed patient data are safe against data loss.  The Debian
19       GNU/Linux packaged version of the GNUmed server installs  such  a  cron
20       job by default.

EXAMPLES

24       anacron
25
26       The following line could be added to a system's /etc/anacrontab to make
27       sure it creates daily database backups for GNUmed:
28
29       1 15 gnumed-<your-company>-sign-backups /usr/bin/gm-zip+sign_backups.sh
30
31       cron
32
33       Add the following line to a crontab file to sign  database  backups  at
34       12:47 and 19:47 every day:
35
36       47 12,19 * * * * /usr/bin/gm-zip+sign_backups.sh
37
38       PROCMAIL
39
40       It  is  useful  to  have  a PROCMAIL rule for the digital notary server
41       replies piping them into the stoarage area where the backups are kept.
