How do I backup the Puplic_html folder using a corn job ?

Hello,

I would like to backup only the folder puplic_html using a corn job, so what should I type in the command line ??

I really appreciate it if someone replied .

Thanks

 

Really thanks a lot,

But this command synchronizes folders ( puplic_html, and distention folder ), I wanted to zip the puplic_html for a backup using corntab.

So, would you please help me with this command.

Thanks

 

after a long search i found this line, and it worked,

tar -czf /home/user/distenation/public_html.gz.tar /home/user/public_html

also i could use tar - cvf command, for a public_html.tar backup.

but i'll try your line.

thanks a lot

 

I thought the same, but when I tried, I noticed that it overwrites the existing file.

So, there is no fear to lose a lot of space.

Thanks for that notice
