Daily Folder Backup and Rotation for Linux

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).
