BTW there is a typo in the fix , should be HOSTNAME not NOSTNAMEA Otherwise a very useful script that is much appreciated Have been testing this, had to make a few mods;

The PATH statement needs to be earlier for the all the which commands to work (at least on one of our boxes which has a magical setup) and I had the same issue as Jason , we had left the COPYDIR blank and it still tried to rsync to a non existent directory , the same fix Jason put in sorted it out for us. BTW there is a typo in the fix , should be HOSTNAME not NOSTNAMEA

Otherwise a very useful script that is much appreciated

If I set BYHOSTNAME to yes and COPYDIR to blank, then COPYDIR is wrong set in line 525: if [ "${BYHOSTNAME}" = "yes" ]; then BACKUPDIR="$BACKUPDIR/$HOSTNAMEA" COPYDIR="$COPYDIR/$HOSTNAMEA" fi I'll get a copy in /hostname/hostname on the server, that's not what we expected. I guess we have to check COPYDIR is blank or not there: if [ "${BYHOSTNAME}" = "yes" ]; then BACKUPDIR="$BACKUPDIR/$HOSTNAMEA" if [ ! $COPYDIR = "" ]; then COPYDIR="$COPYDIR/$HOSTNAMEA" fi fi Nice improvements!

If I set BYHOSTNAME to yes and COPYDIR to blank, then COPYDIR is wrong set in line 525:

if [ "${BYHOSTNAME}" = "yes" ];
then
BACKUPDIR=”$BACKUPDIR/$HOSTNAMEA”
COPYDIR=”$COPYDIR/$HOSTNAMEA”
fi

I’ll get a copy in /hostname/hostname on the server, that’s not what we expected.

I guess we have to check COPYDIR is blank or not there:

if [ "${BYHOSTNAME}" = "yes" ];
then
BACKUPDIR=”$BACKUPDIR/$HOSTNAMEA”
if [ ! $COPYDIR = "" ]; then
COPYDIR=”$COPYDIR/$HOSTNAMEA”
fi
fi
