Hi

@sea
Oh yes thats of course true I din't think about that, so clear isn't good for me, I think any other options arn't there so it doesn't matter then the code should better be seen.

But with the three files I don't know if its that way I will do in the end, I think over it because I am not sure like I should realice a full backupscript for users. This is only a backbone which I still improve that when I know how.

@all
Is it better for you (think as a user) when you need to bring back a backup to get automaticly the last one, or get standart option the last one, with question to get other ones?
And how long do you would hold the backups? I think aboute to delete them per script after 2 weeks to hold my system free.

@all

At this time my script is working like this:

1:
user can make backup himselfe and automaticly all 3 hours with safing db file and serverfiles on my server as default
user is asked if he wants do take a own ftp server for filebackup, if yes the ftp data are safed in a db of mine to connect everytime

2:
user get asked to get standard option (take last backup) or to take a specified one per date
if a specified he can choose the date of listing all files of last 2 weeks if not script continues
user get shown if a backup is there of (last) actuell date/time and get asked to take this or last backup
if last backup (at this moment) only takes the backup of the last safe and ask to do
then the script takes a "special" backup of the db before restoring backup, do restore and make a new backup for the user

3:
User get asked to restore files too or only db
if files too, the script save the files now on my server first before restoring, restore backup files from his/mine server,
makes a new backup and user get asked if he wants to get the special backup of these files bevor they get restored
if not he get asked if he agrees to delete this special filebackup to save space

Is this ok for you or did I forget something or do better one?

EDIT:
And is it better go make the script for user to execut like ./backup store|restore..... or as a service?

NAME
service - run a System V init script SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS] service --status-all service --help | -h | --version DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working directory set to /. The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start command. service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command. EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it. FILES
/etc/init.d The directory containing System V init scripts. ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM The only environment variables passed to the init scripts. SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton, update-rc.d(8), init(8), invoke-rc.d(8). Jan 2006 service(8)
