Presentation

I created a simple backup tool because I did not find it on the internet

Configuration

Edit the backup.sh file and set the following variables :

backup_data=""

• This variable defines where or are storing backups

backup_folder=""

• This variable defines the location of the folder to save

backup_folder_name=""

• This variable defines the name of the folder or file that must be backuped

backup_time=""

• Cette variable définit le nombre de jours que doit conserver la sauvegarde

Boot options

It is possible to pass the values ​​of the variables directly at the start of the program

The first variable corresponds to backup_data

The second variable corresponds to backup_folder

The third variable corresponds to backup_folder_name

The fourth variable corresponds to backup_time

Example start line

bash /opt/Backup/backup.sh "/home/backup" "/var/www/" html 7

Setup

To install the script perform the following commands

cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/zendrique/Backup
cd Backup
sudo bash backup.sh --install

Once done, open crontap (crontab -e) and enter the following line :

00 3 * * * bash /opt/Backup/backup.sh

Warning

Please note that some file may require Sudo rights to be saved. In this case define this line in the crontab of root !
