This is a bash script that manages backups. It creates a backup of
target file passed to it as the first argument in the backup folder
passed to it as the second argument. If backup folder doesn't exist it
will be created. Backups are stored as .tag.gz archives with name set
to it's creation date. By default this script will create up to 5
backups removing old ones on attempt to create a new one. This
behaviour can be overridden by passing an -m (or --max) argument
set to desired amount.
