Short little scripts that I have written and find useful.

This repository contains some useful utility scripts that I have written. Feel free to use in part or whole as you see fit.

##Backup Scripts The script backup_script.sh will create a tar ball from a list of files or directories. The parameters File Prefix and Local Directory are required. If backing up somewhere else too then need to specify parameters, User, Host and Network Directory (if any of these are missing then files are not backed up to remote location). The scp used to send the file will prompt for a password if ssh keys are not used.

./backup_script.sh [-h?] -f <File Prefix> -l <Local Directory> [-u <user> -d <host> -n <Network Directory>] <What to Backup>

$ ./backup_script.sh -u sshd -d 10.0.0.3 -p test_backup_ -l /share/local_backup/ -n /shares/Linux/ubuntu/backups/ /share/test/

The script all_backup_script.sh makes canned calls with different parameters to backup_script.sh, allowing for repeated calls with no errors. Note: This script contains pre-canned values that are useful for me, will require editing before running.

$ ./all_backup_script.sh
