How to configure for BackUp System

For making our system safe, I've configured Backup system.

What I did is that use two hard disk, 1 is internal and other is USB hard disk.

1. Mounting each HDD to our system.

Command is,

   # mkdir /HDD2

   # sudo mount /dev/sdb /HDD2

     Making 2 Partitions

  # sudo /sbin/fdisk /dev/sdc

    Formatting HDD

  # sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc1

  # sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc2

  # mkdir /HDD3

  # sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /HDD3

after that, I add that in /etc/fatab to mount automatically.

2. Using 'rsync' to make same directory to '/var/www/moodle' and '/var/moodledata'.

    Command is,

    # rsync -av /var/www/moodle /HDD2/BackUP/backup_moodle

    # rsync -av /var/moodledata/ /HDD2/BackUp/backup_moodledata

    and using mysqldump to backup database

    # sudo mysqldump -h localhost -u root --password=KUelearning -C -Q -e --create-options moodle > /HDD2/BackUp/moodle-database.sql

3. Adding above commands to crontab; scheduling
