I use Perl to call external tools to create a backup tree and encrypt it. These are the actual commands to create the tree and encrypt.
cd /var/lib
/usr/bin/zip -9 -y -q -r /tmp/20010924_mysql.zip mysql
/usr/bin/gpg --output /var/backup/20010924_mysql.zip.gpg --recipient m
+e@myself.com --encrypt /tmp/20010924_mysql.zip
rm /tmp/20010924_mysql.zip
Use perl to calc the required commands and timestamped filename, for the current host, and then system() them.
Note full paths for all root commands!
Regards
Jeff

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
