Thank You!! Funny how the smallest thing can fix a really pain in the *** problem... LOL

I spent way too much time trying to figure that out. It doesnt outline the input (Y or N) but it will accept all versions. This will work great...

Thanks again,,

1 down 1 to go.....

Sweet!! Thank you very much,,, I knew it had something to do with the while loop,,, Im not familiar enough with it that I forgot the break...Now I can fix my version of the confirmation..

Just tried it out and it works a treat! Thank you so much...

I belive my remaining problem lies in the code below. Like I said if the backups directory already exist then everything runs fine. If it doesnt then it has to create it,, which it does ok,, ,but for some reason it will not find an existing directory when using this section... But when you exit back to the Main Menu then try again,, This time using the existing directory section of code because the backups directory now exist,, it will run fine then.

else
echo "Backup Directory Does Not Exist!"
echo "Creating Dirtectory /home/USERNAME/backups..... "
mkdir ~/backups
echo "Backup Directory Created..... "
echo -n "Enter Name Of Directory To Backup: "
read dname2
if [ -r dname2 ]
then
cp -r $dname2 ~/backups
echo "$dname2 Backup Has Been Created in /home/USERNAME/backups, "
else
echo "Unable To Locate Directory $dname2, Returning To Main Menu, "
fi
fi
