[plug] Trying to schedule backups on Linux based NAS busybox

[caston at arach.net.au]

Hello,

I have here a Thecus n1200. 

I have installed the ssh module and enabled it and able to ssh in ok.
http://www.onbeat.dk/thecus/index.php/N1200_Module:_SSH

I'm now trying to setup a cron job along the lines of:

10 5 * * * cp -u -r /raid/* /raid/eSATAHDD/1

That is I want to backup the main drive to the eSATA drive every day at about
5:10am. This is to allow offsite backup.

The only problem is the thecus runs busy box: BusyBox v1.1.3

and busybox cp doesn't seem to support the update command.

does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this?

best regards,

Chris Caston
