DESCRIPTION

14       The  gm-move_backups_offsite  script  can  be  used  to move backups to
15       another host, IOW storing them "offsite" in the loosest  sense  of  the
16       word.

EXAMPLE

20       Imagine the following situation:
21
22       1) a laptop running client and database which is
23          taken to the office, to patients, etc
24
25       2) a desktop at home with some spare storage
26
27       3) the laptop is occasionally connected to the home
28          network and thus has access to the desktop machine
29
30       Given  appropriate  configuration  of gm-move_backups_offsite one could
31       add the following two lines to the cron script on the  laptop  to  make
32       sure database backups are replicated to the desktop whenever the laptop
33       has access to it:
34
35       @reboot         /usr/bin/gm-move_backups_offsite.sh
36
37       5 0-23 * * *    /usr/bin/gm-move_backups_offsite.sh
