a simple backup/restore script

CyberTron · 2005-10-30 21:46:23

Well, I made a simple backup/restore script in Bash, it is capable of backing up files/directories to two different locations, in 3 ways,
1. locally (to another harddrive)
2. Server (to a server)
3. To both the server and to your local harddrive

It is also capable of restoring the backed up files

it is quite ugly at the moment though, and probably unsafe to use...but it seems to work...don't forget to edit the relative paths (there are 4 variables that can be changed, and then there are the files you wish to backup)

i will to this more gracefully in a few days

UPDATE: Updated the script to a little more flexible...still a lot of work to do, but hey...give me time

if anyone wants it and might enjoy it, here it is:
