Grouping array elements - possible?

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) Smilie

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

NAME
apache - Apache hypertext transfer protocol server overview DESCRIPTION
apache consists of a main server daemon, loadable server modules, some additional support utilities, configuration files, and documenta- tion. FILES
The apache HTTPD server is integrated with Solaris. The following files specify the installation locations for apache: /etc/apache Contains server configuration files. A newly-installed server must be manually configured before use. Typically this involves copying httpd.conf-example to the httpd.conf file and making local configuration adjustments. /usr/apache/bin Contains the httpd executable as well as other utility programs. /usr/apache/htdocs Contains the Apache manual in HTML format. This documentation is accessible by way of a link on the server test page that gets installed upon fresh installation. /usr/apache/include Contains the Apache header files, which are needed for building various optional server extensions with apxs(8) /usr/apache/jserv Contains documention for the mod_jserv java servlet module. Documention can be read with a web browser using the url: file:/usr/apache/jserv/docs/index.html /usr/apache/libexec Contains loadable modules (DSOs) supplied with the server. Any modules which are added using apxs(8)are also copied into this directory. /usr/apache/man Contains man pages for the server, utility programs, and mod_perl. Add this directory to your MANPATH to read the Apache man pages. See NOTES. /usr/apache/perl5 Contains the modules and library files used by the mod_perl extension to Apache. /var/apache/cgi-bin Default location for the CGI scripts. This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server. /var/apache/htdocs Default document root. This can be changed by altering the httpd.conf file and restarting the server. /var/apache/icons Icons used by the server. This normally shouldn't need to be changed. /var/apache/logs Contains server log files. The formats, names, and locations of the files in this directory can be altered by various configuration directives in the httpd.conf file. /var/apache/proxy Directory used to cache pages if the caching feature of mod_proxy is enabled in the httpd.conf file. The location of the cache can also be changed by changing the proxy configuration in the httpd.conf file. ATTRIBUTES

In addition to the documentation and man pages included with Solaris, more information is available at http://www.apache.org The Apache man pages are provided with the programming modules. To view the manual pages for the Apache modules with the man command, add /usr/apache/man to the MANPATH environment variable. See man(1) for more information. Running catman(1M) on the Apache manual pages is not supported. SunOS 5.10 8 Aug 2000 apache(1M)
