silicon51 / backpoi

HI!

Backpoi is easy and simple bash script with shell commands used for backup. Main goal is to made a copy of files which are on one drive (eg. SSD) and copy it to second drive to store as HDD or NAS storage

MANUAL:

1. Both files should be in this same folder eg for ubuntu 22.04 (tested) strongly suggested is /usr/local/bin/ thanks to that it is possoble to access to script by typing $backpoi instead of full path
2. Script allows for 2 types o backup:

• manual - requires parameter of destination path and there create new folder for backup (name is date_time of script)
• periodical - both source and destination for backup cames from config file. Backup is only made if given time for each backup period is exeed. Script will copy all files from all sources (path*) to all destinations (dest*). In each destination folder will be made or updated folders with names based on b*_period values eg. "1d", "30d", "17d". Then subfolders (A and B) in each directory will be made, script will update subdirectory changed intermittently - after each given period subfolder A or B will be purged and filled with latest backup

3. For scheduling backup use crontab by typing crontab -e or backpoi -s
