Re: [hylafax-users] storing faxes?

["Conlan Adams" <conlan.adams@countryfresh.com>]

straight from my hylafax/bin/faxrcvd file only part of it mind you

#! /bin/sh
/usr/bin/fax2ps $1 | lpr   # Try to print it

netname="`date +%Y%j-%H%M%S-$HOSTNAME`-$2.tif"  #uses part of the date, the
host name
mv "$1" "/mnt/backup/hylafax/$netname"
#and the port as the files name

# then copies it to the backup

moves it to a local area network accesable backup machine (Win98) mounted
through samba to /mnt/backup

we store all faxes for all time, when we get 650 meg, we just burn em to cd.

this way all the faxes are saved for archival reasons.

easier done than said really
