<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This is a quick guide about how to take the JIMS "full" backup using a customized rsync function. I've created the function as a script for the easiness and have put it in the home directory of user "origami".<br />
The backup is taken at the end of every month and you need to do this ONLY if I'm absent at the time.<br />
<br />
The following is what you need to do in such case:<br />
<br />
1. Login to admin system as user "origami".<br />
2. Open terminal from the side task bar.<br />
3. Type "./jims_rsync.sh" without quotes and press Enter. That's all.<br />
<br />
The backup process will start within a minute and will be visible in the terminal.<br />
<br />
The backups will be written to the location "/home/origami/JIMS_bkp/Synced_backup/". (approx size 27GB)<br />
<br />
Before running the script, make sure the backup of the previous month is already written to DVDs.<br />

How to write JIMS full backup into DVDs.<br />
<br />
1. Open terminal<br />
2. Go to location JIMS_bkp ( cd JIMS_bkp/)<br />
3. type and enter command- tar czvf - Synced_backup/ | split --bytes=4600MB - Jimsfull.tar.gz<br />
<br />
The total size of the Synced_backup folder will be around 27GB. The above command will compress and split them into 4 or 5 equal parts so that we can easily write them to DVDs.<br />
<br />
After running this command you will obtain 4 or 5 tar files in your current folder.<br />
File name examples: Jimsfull.tar.gzaa, Jimsfull.tar.gzab, Jimsfull.tar.gzac, Jimsfull.tar.gzad<br />
