Backup your mud with this shell script! was created by rudeboyrave

Create a file named backup.sh in your root directory for your mud account and edit the lines below to match the paths to your world, obj and any directories you want backed up. simply do a "./backup.sh" from your shell prompt to do a quick backup when you need to.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
BACKUP_DIR="/home/cyber/backups"
time=`date '+%m'-'%d'-'%y'`
tar -cvzf $BACKUP_DIR/CA.player.backup-$time.tgz /home/cyber/CA.conversion/lib/plr*
tar -cvzf $BACKUP_DIR/CA.code.backup-$time.tgz /home/cyber/CA.conversion/src/
tar -cvzf $BACKUP_DIR/CA.world.backup-$time.tgz /home/cyber/CA.conversion/lib/world/
tar -cvzf $BACKUP_DIR/CA.storage.backup-$time.tgz /home/cyber/CA.conversion/lib/storage/
tar -cvzf $BACKUP_DIR/CA.world.backup-$time.tgz /home/cyber/CA.conversion/lib/world/
tar -cvzf $BACKUP_DIR/CA.vehicle.backup-$time.tgz /home/cyber/CA.conversion/lib/vehicles
echo done.

You must be a Linux user, because you seem to think that all shells are Bourne again! (See what I did there?).

Anyhow, that's a nice little script though I'd probably change the hash-bang to point at simple Bourne to make it more portable for those of us who don't use BASH. Thanks for posting your script. :-)
