Shell script to create backup or backup tar
On linux based server many time we need daily backup of particular folder. Her i am writing simple script which make a tar of your folder and move it to your backup folder.
#!/bin/bash #Purpose = Backup of Important Data #Created on 18-06-2015 #Author = Rajeev Achra [email protected] #Version 1.0 #START TIME=`date +%Y%m%d ` # This Command will add date in Backup File Name. FILENAME=backup-$TIME.tar.gz # Here i define Backup file name format. SRCDIR=/source_path # Location of Important Data Directory (Source of backup). DESDIR=/dest_path/ # Destination of backup file. tar -cpzf $DESDIR/$FILENAME $SRCDIR #END
It’s basic script which gave you an idea how to use shell for creating a tar or zip backup file. You can add extra or can modify according to your requirement.
