Is there a way to backup files from command line? (for example running backup every hour rom cron?)

# filetool.sh backup noprompt

It uses device as found in /opt/.backup_device

/usr/sbin/filetool.sh backup [device]
/usr/sbin/filetool.sh restore [device]

If no device specified, it will check /opt/.backup_device

I assume this needs to be run as root.
