Find all .htaccess files and make a backup copy in respective directories
Hey guys,
I need to know how to locate all .htaccess files on the server and make a backup of them in the folder they reside before I run a script to modify all of them.
So basically taking dir1/.htaccess and copying it as dir1/.htaccess_bk
dir2/.htaccess copying as dir2/.htaccess_bk
etc...
Can someone explain the proper cp usage for this example?
Much appreciated.

Okay so that seemed to work as intended.
Now I'm curious... I have a copy of each original .htaccess file named .htaccess_bak sitting along side each original just incase my script to update them all doesnt work as planned and I need to revert to the backups..
How can I accomplish either copying the contents from the backup file to the original file, or renaming the backup files all the .htaccess to overwrite the originals?
Something like...

I appreciate the responses, but I don't think that's quite what I'm looking for. Adding a date to the file... really doesn't get me anywhere, nor does a manual file by file copy to replace. Let me try to clarify...
I have approx 3,000 .htaccess files I am planning on targeting with a script to update them all at once removing a specified RE.
Now I'm going to run a script through all the original .htaccess files using find and sed -i to remove a selection of unwanted rewrite rules, while leaving the remaining rules in place. I'm pretty sure it is going to go as planned, but I want to be on the safe side and have backups in place, and a method to restore the original .htaccess files with the backups that reside along side them, if something goes wrong.
I need a method to find all .htaccess_bak files and rename them as .htaccess to overwrite the .htaccess files that are sitting along side them.
So in other words:
/dir1/.htaccess_bak is renamed to /dir1/.htaccess ... overwriting and replacing the .htaccess that is in place.
/dir1/sub1/.htaccess_bak is renamed to /dir1/sub1/.htaccess ... overwriting and replacing the .htaccess that is in place.
/dir1/sub2/.htaccess_bak is renamed to /dir1/sub2/.htaccess ... overwriting and replacing the .htaccess that is in place.
The date with time is important, if you run your script two times by accidently, you will lost your updates easily.
tar all .htaccess files out into one file is one of ways to do the backup. You needn't rename it every time. But if you don't like this way, you can continue your way by rename.
I am trying to copy only the date specific folders/directories using the following command. However, the following copy command is also copying files from the root folder (OriginalFolder).

I just wrote a tiny script with the help of ghostdog74 to search all my files for special content phrases.
After a few modifications I now made it work, but one problem is left. The files are located in public_html folder, so there might also be .htaccess files.
So I ignored scanning of that... (4 Replies)
