I have a script which takes backup of some configuration files on my server. It does that by using an array which contains the complete path to the files to backup.
It copys the files to a pre defined dir. Each "program" has it's own folder, ex. apache.conf is being copied to /predefined dir/apache/. The script uses the filename without it's extension to create the folder (apache.conf becomes apache - php.ini becomes php etc)
However, some filenames don't allow this method to work as they're called "log.conf" or things like that.
The goal is to be able to add files to the array in the script, without having to add alot of exceptions for files without a usable name.
My question is - are there any way to add a "group" to each filepath? like apache.conf is in "apache" group, php.ini and php_browscap.ini is in "php" group etc.? Or are there a better way to do it?
This is my code. Please bear with me if something looks wierd, I'm YABN (Yet Another Bashscript Newbie)
Code:
files=(
'/php.ini'
'/php_browscap.ini'
'/mnt/HDA_ROOT/.config/apache/apache.conf'
)
dest='/share/MD0_DATA/Backup/servers/digisnas/'
fcount=${#files[@]}
ip=$(ip addr show eth0 | grep inet | awk '{print $2;}')
datetime=$(date +"%d-%m-%Y %T")
date=$(date +"%d-%m-%Y")
host=$(hostname)
normal="\033[m"
green="\033[32m"
boldGreen="\033[1;32m"
initmsg="Initiating"
backupmsg="Backing"
dots="..."
echo -e "\n$boldGreen$initmsg backup of $fcount files...$normal\n"
for i in "${files[@]}"
do
nline=${i##*/}
aparm=${nline%.*}
if [ -d "$dest$aparm" ]; then
if [ ! -d "$dest$aparm/$date" ]; then
mkdir -m 775 "$dest$aparm/$date"
fi
elif [ ! -d "$dest$aparm" ]; then
mkdir -m 775 "$dest$aparm"
mkdir -m 775 "$dest$aparm/$date"
fi
echo -n "$backupmsg up $i$dots"
cp -p $i $dest$aparm/$date
echo -e "Backup date: $datetime
Backup source: $i
Backup destination: $dest
Backup made by: $host $ip" > $dest$aparm/$date/$aparm$date.log
echo -e " [$green OK$normal ]"
done
