I made this script......



Code:
#! /bin/bash
 
# Variables
location=/home/dr/parag.n/Desktop
directory=*
backuplocation=/home/dr/parag.n
log=/home/dr/parag.n/backup.log
 
echo -e “\nBackup started: `date`” >> $log
 
if [ -d $backuplocation ]; then
 
mkdir -p $backuplocation/`date +%y-%m-%d`
cd $location
tar -zcvf $backuplocation/`date +%y-%m-%d`/Desktop-Files.`date  +%H-%M-%S`.tar.gz $directory
rm -fr *
echo ” completed: `date`” >> $log
mv $log $backuplocation/backup.log
echo -e “\n — Backup completed –\n”;
else
echo ” FAILED: `date`” >> $log
echo -e “\n– WARNING: –”
echo -e “– BACKUP FAILED –\n”;
fi
