Backing everything up:
Create the backup directory:
#---
mkdir -p /var/local/atlassian-bkp/
chmod 750 /var/local/atlassian-bkp/
#---
Create the backup script:
#---
cat > /var/local/atlassian-bkp/atlassian_bkp.sh << __END__
#!/bin/sh

chmod 750 /var/local/atlassian-bkp/atlassian_bkp.sh
NOTE: DO edit the resulting file: /var/local/atlassian-bkp/atlassian_bkp.sh to put the correct passwords for the database users.
It will store all backups at /var/local/atlassian-bkp/ and a typical backup will have a file list as follows:
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3112 2010-03-17 19:32 atlassian_bkp.sh
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 796 2010-03-17 19:32 bkp-20100317-223145.log
-r--------. 1 root root 181902319 2010-03-17 19:32 confluence-20100317-223145.tgz
-r--------. 1 root root 8572 2010-03-17 19:31 confluencedb-20100317-223145.gz
-r--------. 1 root root 79531583 2010-03-17 19:31 jira-20100317-223145.tgz
-r--------. 1 root root 15302 2010-03-17 19:31 jiradb-20100317-223145.gz
Test the script:
#---
sh -x /var/local/atlassian-bkp/atlassian_bkp.sh
#---
Put the script in the crontab (daily):
#---
ln /var/local/atlassian-bkp/atlassian_bkp.sh /etc/cron.daily/atlassian
#---
Notice that it is a HARD link to the cron.daily, so that when you edit the original file it also reflects a change at the crontab.
BUT to remove the file completely you MUST remove from BOTH locations:
#---
rm -f /var/local/atlassian-bkp/atlassian_bkp.sh
rm -f /etc/cron.daily/atlassian
#---
Checkout if the starting time is okay for you (the standard is 03:00):
#---
cat /etc/anacrontab
#---
