We have a backup routine that previously ran from one disk to another on the same server, but have recently moved the source data to a remote server and are trying to replicate the job via scp.
We need to run the
script on the target server, and we've set up key-based scp (no username/password required) between the two servers. Using scp to copy specific files and directories works perfectly:
scp -r -p -B
[email protected]:/mnt/disk1/bsource/filename.txt /mnt/disk2/btarget/
However, our previous routine iterates through directories on the source disk to determine which files to copy, then runs them individually through gpg encryption. Is there any way to do this only by using scp?
Again, this
script needs to run from the target server, and the user the job runs under only has scp (no ssh) access to the target system.
The old job would look something like this:
#Change to source dir
cd /mnt/disk1
#Create variable to store
# directories named by date YYYYMMDD
j="20000101/"
#Iterate though directories in the current dir
# to get the most recent folder name
for i in $(ls -d */);
do
if [ "$j" \< "$i" ]; then
j=${i%/*}
fi
done
#Encrypt individual files from $j to target directory
cd ./${j%%}/bsource/
for k in $(ls -p | grep -v /$);
do
sudo /usr/bin/gpg -e -r "Backup Key" --batch --no-tty -o "/mnt/disk2/btarget/$k.gpg" "$/mnt/disk1/$j/bsource/$k"
done
Can anyone suggest how to do this via scp from the target system? Thanks in advance.
