I have configured Linux as a Data Server and there are nearly 20GB of Data in that hdd and Some Applications in that.Here i have configured Cron for backup shedule.

When the backup done from the server i checked the data of backup and i find only files are copied into the backup partition and the subdirectories are missing in the backup volume.Do you people know, what type of mistake i may done????

O.K.
Thanks for the Suggestion Rickey....
This is an example from my cron script

Using crontab -e command i just inserted the lines..........like............


00    20     *      *      *   cp -u -a -R /vol/1rsdata /backup/rsdata

It means everyday at 8 P.M the data from /vol1/rsdata will be copied into /backup/rsdata with all subdirectories.


Thanks......................
