a simple script that helps you to manage configs, files
backupCli uses a path file to backup files and folders
you can find an example of backup paths under paths folder:
- system
the syntax is simple, only put file, folder URLs there:
NOTE: use comments like you'r using them in bash scripts
# bash config
~/.bashrc
# my documents
~/Documents
# root configs
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
open config file and read comments:
declare -A options=(
# export options
#----------------------------
# path to files and folders
[backup_paths]='paths/system'
# where to export backups
[backup_export]='backup'
# backup root-directory format {backup_export}/format
# [default: username-year-month-day--hour-minute-second]
[backup_format]="${USER}-$(date +%Y-%m-%d--%T|tr ':' '-')"
# restore options
#----------------------------
# where to restore backups on [default: root]
# backupcli restores the nested folders from root to you'r file, folders
[backup_restore]="/"
# for example if a file with:
# /home/devs/.bashrc
# and backup_restore is "/"
# backupcli create nest folders under "/"
# and if its exist uses it
)
