waw-backup 5.0.0

What and Where Backup. Easy as possible backup, with file what.txt (what to backup) and where.txt (where to backup).

what.txt mean paths to directories/files what you want to backup. where.txt mean paths to directories where paths from what.txt will be copied.

Usage and how to

waw_backup5 [ARGUMENTS]
       -b   | proceed backup
       -c   | configure entries in $what and $where files
       -m   | try create nonexisting folders (use with -t or -b)
       -p   | prompt if you want to copy specified path
       -s   | show what and where files
       -t   | test files and folders, emulated backup

what = What to backup; where = Where to backup
Example: waw-backup -ty #test files and folders and create unexist (where) dirs
        waw-backup -by #proceed backup and create where dirs, if don't exist

sudo chmod +x waw-backup.sh
./waw-backup.sh

After this command program dumped 2 files in directory (what.txt and where.txt). Now you can simple add paths (preferable FULL PATHS) in that files.

Then try use argument -t to see what will be done.

./waw-backup.sh -t

If you want to proceed backup use argument -b

./waw-backup.sh -b
