[Asterisk-Users] Backup for linux/asterisk

[Chris Albertson]

The "standard" UNIX backup program is called "dump".  Try reading the
dump manpage by typing "man dump" at the shell's prompt.  This program
has been in common use since maybe the late 80's

Quoted from the man page:

  Dump examines files on an ext2/3 filesystem and determines
  which files need to be backed up. These files are copied to
  the given  disk,  tape or  other storage medium for safe
  keeping....

Many sysadmins will run "dump" nightly from a crontab entry
