Help needed with newbie progression / regression script
Ok, I've had Arch running with XFCE4 running for about 3 months. I installed vim and really like it. Boy, that editor has a steep learning curve for an old guy like me. Taking small steps here. But I thought I'd like to have my progression/regression backed up.
What I need is a bash script that uses crontab to copy/backup my .bashrc, ~/.bash/aliases, and .vimrc files like every other day. I don't want to overwrite them. Rename them so that at a future time, I can see my pro/regression in those files.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Help needed with newbie progression / regression script
This is what VCS is built for. Open an account on Github or Bitbucket and commit your files there: you will have access to a complete history and the added advantage of being able to clone those files to a new machine...
