Creating a simple backup script
Its years since I touched unix scripting in any great depth but I now need to create 2 scripts Im hoping someone can help me with or where I can find one
Script 1
Basic Backup script
All it needs to do, at the moment is make a copy of a specific folder in /usr/home and then tar it together, gzip it and then move it to a web accessable folder for download, renaming the file to a meaning full date, ie backup090905.tar.gz if poss.
Script 2
Rubbish deletion script.
Now this folder has several hundred folders and subfolders containing images. Some of them have *.bak and thumbs.db in them and over several hundred folders it mounts up. Im looking for a script to create a file so I can review it and then if if its all ok, delete it.
Anyone know whats required/where I can get one from. I have googled for it !
Cheers
Stu
