Backup Tool

This backup script is a Bash tool designed to automate the backup folders listed in .bak files. It scans the same folder as the tool is in and locates .bak files. It then performs backups of the folders specified within those files.

Usage

To use the backup script, follow these steps:

1. Create a .bak file that contains a list of folders and files to backup. Make sure that the file only contains the paths to the folders and files. Below is a sample of what the .bak files should look like.

/etc/var/apache
/var/www/html

3. Execute the script using the following command:

./backup

Customization

The backup script can be customized to suit your needs. You can modify the following parameters:

• Backup Location: By default, the script creates backups in a folder named "backups" within the same directory. You can change this location by modifying the BACKUP_LOCATION variable in the script.
• Backup Method: The script uses a basic backup method, but you can customize it to use a different method by modifying the appropriate backup commands within the script.

Important Notes

• Ensure that the script has appropriate permissions to execute (chmod +x backup_script.sh).
• Double-check that the .bak files are properly formatted and contain the correct folder paths.
• Make sure you have enough disk space available to accommodate the backup files.
