Backup Scripts

This repository contains a collection of bash scripts that can be used to perform backups of various types.

Motivation

The purpose of these scripts is to provide an easy and automated way to perform backups of various types. By using these scripts, you can quickly and easily create backups of your files, databases, and other important data, without having to manually run commands or write scripts yourself.

These scripts are designed to be flexible and customizable. You can use them as-is, or you can modify them to suit your specific needs. For example, you can change the options for rsync or mysqldump to exclude certain files or databases from the backup, or you can add additional options to customize the behavior of the scripts.
