Can anybody write this bash script ?
hi, first congratulations on the nice forum!

Can anybody write script, which can make copy of some or all files of the current directory in new directory (called "backups", which must be made in the current directory, if it's not already exist). And bring out a massage (report) with the count of the successfull copied files.

Thank you in advance!

regards

ginstall

INSTALL(1)							   User Commands							INSTALL(1)

NAME

       install - copy files and set attributes

SYNOPSIS

       install [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
       install [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
       install [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
       install [OPTION]... -d DIRECTORY...

DESCRIPTION

       In  the	first  three  forms,  copy  SOURCE  to	DEST  or  multiple SOURCE(s) to the existing DIRECTORY, while setting permission modes and
       owner/group.  In the 4th form, create all components of the given DIRECTORY(ies).

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

       --backup[=CONTROL]
	      make a backup of each existing destination file

       -b     like --backup but does not accept an argument

       -c     (ignored)

       -d, --directory
	      treat all arguments as directory names; create all components of the specified directories

       -D     create all leading components of DEST except the last, then copy SOURCE to DEST

       -g, --group=GROUP
	      set group ownership, instead of process' current group

       -m, --mode=MODE
	      set permission mode (as in chmod), instead of rwxr-xr-x

       -o, --owner=OWNER
	      set ownership (super-user only)

       -p, --preserve-timestamps
	      apply access/modification times of SOURCE files to corresponding destination files

       -s, --strip
	      strip symbol tables

       -S, --suffix=SUFFIX override the usual backup suffix

       -t, --target-directory=DIRECTORY
	      copy all SOURCE arguments into DIRECTORY

       -T, --no-target-directory
	      treat DEST as a normal file

       -v, --verbose
	      print the name of each directory as it is created

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       The backup suffix is `~', unless set with --suffix or SIMPLE_BACKUP_SUFFIX.  The version control method may be selected	via  the  --backup
       option or through the VERSION_CONTROL environment variable.  Here are the values:

       none, off
	      never make backups (even if --backup is given)

       numbered, t
	      make numbered backups

       existing, nil
	      numbered if numbered backups exist, simple otherwise

       simple, never
	      always make simple backups
