  42 Here's what we do:
  43
  44 (1) <A HREF="http://www.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at area51</A>:~$ crontab -l
  45 0 23 * * * /usr/home/services/bin/sendbackup &gt;/dev/null 2&gt;&amp;1
  46 (2) <A HREF="http://www.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">services at area51</A>:~$ cat bin/sendbackup
  47 #!/bin/sh
  48 cd ~/data; tar czf - *.db *.conf *.motd|uuencode services-`date +'%Y-%m-%d-%a'`.tar.gz|mail -s &quot;Services backup for `date`&quot; &lt;userlist here&gt;
  49
  50
  51 Then on my machine where I receive mail, I have a procmail rule:
  52 (212) <A HREF="http://www.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices">smkelly at edgemaster</A>:~$ cat .procmailrc
  53 :<i>0:
  54 </I>* ^Subject: Services backup for.*
  55 boxes/snserv-backup
  56
  57 Thus, I have a mailspool format file with daily backups as far back as I need
  58 them.  I generally keep a week's worth of them on hand.  I just use my mail
  59 user agent (mutt) to save the message to disk if I need the backup.
