Hi Tom,

This is the crontab for the backups: it will execute /backups/dbackup.sh
from Monday to Thursday and /backups/wbackup.sh on Fridays

dbServer1:/backups # crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/tmp/crontab.5730 installed on Mon May 3 17:45:52 2004)
# (Cron version -- $Id: crontab.c,v 2.13 1994/01/17 03:20:37 vixie Exp $)
50 16 * * 1-4 /backups/dbackup.sh
50 16 * * 5 /backups/wbackup.sh


Listing of the sbackup.sh:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
/opt/firebird/bin/gbak -b -T -user sysdba -password masterkey
/database/stock.fdb /backups/stock.fbk
gzip -9 /backups/stock.fbk

currDateCommand="date +%B%d%Y"
currDate=`$currDateCommand`
echo $currDate

mount /StocksBackups

mv /backups/stock.fbk.gz /StocksBackups/$currDate-Stock.fbk.gz
------------------------------------------------------------------------

listing of the wbackup.sh:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

/opt/firebird/bin/gbak -b -T -user sysdba -password masterkey
/database/stock.fdb /backups/stock.fbk
gzip -9 /backups/stock.fbk

currDateCommand="date +%B%d%Y"
currDate=`$currDateCommand`
echo $currDate

mount /StocksBackups

mv /backups/stock.fbk.gz /StocksBackups/$currDate-WeeklyStock.fbk.gz
------------------------------------------------------------------------

To mount the /StocksBackups directory which is on a MS Windows system, edit
the fstab and register the line below:

//192.168.0.123/Backupdir /StocksBackups smbfs
username=administrator,password=adminpwd 0 0

The 192.168.0.123 is the IP of the Windows PC, the Backupdir is the share
name on windows, /StocksBackups is the directory where the share is mounted
on linux, and the rest is user name and password to access the share.

I hope that this is what you are looking for
