Use shell scripts to increase leverage and portability.
$ vi first## My first shell script#clearecho "Knowledge is Power"
#!/bin/bash
# Backs up all files in current directory modified within last 24 hours #+ in a "tarball" (tarred and gzipped file).
BACKUPFILE=backup-$(date +%m-%d-%Y) # Embeds date in backup filename. # Thanks, Joshua Tschida, for the idea. archive=${1:-$BACKUPFILE} # If no backup-archive filename specified on command-line, #+ it will default to "backup-MM-DD-YYYY.tar.gz."
tar cvf - `find . -mtime -1 -type f -print` > $archive.tar gzip $archive.tar echo "Directory $PWD backed up in archive file \"$archive.tar.gz\"."
# Stephane Chazelas points out that the above code will fail #+ if there are too many files found #+ or if any filenames contain blank characters.
# He suggests the following alternatives: # ------------------------------------------------------------------- # find . -mtime -1 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 tar rvf "$archive.tar" # using the GNU version of "find".
# find . -mtime -1 -type f -exec tar rvf "$archive.tar" '{}' \; # portable to other UNIX flavors, but much slower. # -------------------------------------------------------------------
