How to set up ftp backup rotation in bash?

Question

linux

There is a need to merge database backups via ftp.
I found a simple solution , but it does not, in theory, rotate copies.
Task:
Use cron to set up backup with removal of obsolete copies according to the condition (for example, not older than two days).

I wrote a bash script for myself a long time ago, rsync can do a lot if you read the mana

does rsync understand FTP?

Answer 2

Use perl, half an hour to think about / build a script and 20 minutes to run in, don't waste your nerves and time.

Answer 3

1. Mount the FTP resource as a local file system help.ubuntu.ru/wiki/%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B8...
2. Make a backup and put it in p. one. There are many options, for sure you already have a solution.
3. Add one line to the backup script to delete old copies: notessysadmin.com/poisk-fajlov-po-vozrastu

Answer 4

on the database server, make scheduled archives (cron) with saving the archive in the directory, then a script is launched that connects to the server via ftp and looks at the files, then they are checked by condition. depending on this, they are either deleted, or the current archive is simply filled.
all.
If you want, I can explain in more detail.
