Due to the main previous archiving script falling over itself I have started to write a new version with the help of #bash on freenode.
Conceptual things I have changed:
- Using a whitelist of UUIDs instead of mountpoints to determine if a drive is plugged in.
- Keyfiles instead of password so an expect script is not required.
- Tar instead of rsync, even with limitations rsync was playing havoc with asterisk
This version uses gnupg instead of truecrypt, but I have plans on seeing if truecrypt can mount without requiring any sort of expect script. Also the script doesn’t have incremental archiving implemented, but tar does support incremental archiving.
In short expect a different version to emerge soon.
