> Daily Folder Backup and Rotation for Linux <br>
|
|
> I use this to create archives of my website every day
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Key Features:
|
|
- Daily automated backups of a specified folder using the zip utility.
|
|
- Date-appended archive file names for easy identification.
|
|
- Automatic removal of backups older than 14 days.
|
|
- Scheduled execution using cron for a hands-off approach.
|
|
|
|
## Explanation:
|
|
- The script sets the source directory (SOURCE_DIR) that will be zipped and the archive directory (ARCHIVE_DIR) where the zipped files will be stored.
|
|
- It creates a timestamp in the format YYYY-MM-DD and stores it in the DATE variable.
|
|
- The zip command is used to create the zipped archive and append the date to the file name.
|
|
- The find command is used to delete files older than 14 days in the archive directory. (edit in the script as needed)
|
|
- The cron entry schedules the script to run daily at 13:00 (1 PM).
|
|
|
|
