Yeah, it doesn't take much to learn this kind of stuff (at least for what you want to do).. but I did make a very basic script to do it.
It checks to see if ./backups is a directory and if not, then creates a directory named backups/ . Then it goes through a loop for all files in the current directory and puts them in backups/ , but will automatically say "no" to overwriting files that already exist in that directory with the same name.
It will report how many files were successfully copied.
I do agree with zaxxon however, and you should learn it. But I am bored, and stuff.. Anything else?
