A sipmle backup script that lives on a removable drive and backs up specified files using rsync.
The script resolves paths relative to its own location, in order to not depend on a specific mount point.
./usb-backup.sh /path/to/backup/destination/The script reads backup.conf (located next to the script) fot a list of
files and directories to back up and copies them into a timestamped directory
at the destination.
Edit backup.conf to specify what to back up. Each line is a path relative
to the config file:
# directories must end with '/'
path/to/directory/
# single file
path/to/file.txt
# paths further up the file tree work too
../../path/to/another/file.md
Empty lines and lines starting with # are ignored.
All contributions are welcome, even tiny ones.
