Automatic Backups on Ext Drive Help

32 Views

Hi Everyone,

I'm not sure whether this is in the right area, or if anyone can help but it's worth a shot! (Please don't shoot me if not!)

I'm dealing with a Customer who only my work colleagues have had to deal with on a technical level, but recently they left so it's put me in a bit of a situation. Our customer uses a script to automatically backup their system every 24 hours, sending it to their external drive. However, what they're after (and has been done, but was reset due to an update) was if they remove that drive, and put in a different one, is the backups continue but to that remaining drive without having to manually edit the path it goes too.

To clarify:

Backups currently go to "/media/TOSHIBA______________/Backup/Data"

but they want to be able to remove that drive to take off site, and put in another external drive: "/media/TOSHIBA__________/Backup/Data"

And for the backups to continue but go to that new drive without changing the path themselves. So they don't have to worry about it and know they have a backup they can take off site and know it's still taking them.

The script takes the default path from the SAP HANA Studio to know where to send new backups, so changing the path is easy although my customer is hellbent on wanting it to automatically go to the next drive they put in.

Any advice on this?

Thank you,

Jamie
