Automated backup of home folder Fed 9

[gerardo]

I would like to automate the backup of all the folders in the /home folder and created a single compressed file to move to a remote server, say once a day. Acn anybody help ???

Thanx

Sounds like something 'tar' would be made for to me. Perhaps embedded in a shell script to do the transfer of the resultant file.

I'm not Linux expert though, so maybe someone else will be able to give better advice ;)

yum install fwbackups
This will install fwbackups. In your Preferences you run fwbackups and configure a new backup set to run every day (with compression) to a remote machine. Just note that at the moment, bandwidth throttling isn't implemented so if it's a large backup, the network might slow down a little.
