| Ubuntu 22.04 | |
| Webmin version | 2.013 |
| I have created a cron job back up as follows- | |
| innobackupex --user=root --password=accession /media/usb0/Backup/mysql && eject /media/usb0. | |
| This works ok as long as the external drive USB0 is connected . If the drive is not connected the backup is written to my operating system drive and is filling it up. | |
| I found a possible solution on the inertnet as follows | |
| if ! mount grep -q “/media/backups”; then |
echo "/media/backups not mounted"
exit 1
fi
However I do not know how to incorporate this into the cron job . Help would be appreciated
Please note that there is a pipe symbol between mount and grep but this editor does not seem ro like it.
