Yet another version and what is the difference between v3 & v4 well to be honest only a few minor bugs that may or may not happen depending on how the script was being used but the biggest difference is the fact that v4 has a separate config file ${HOME}/.config/.smalltarbkp giving the ability to convert the script to any other language and still maintain the existing details.
The current version of #smalltarbkp v4 provides the same version as previews version 3 and those are the current features:
- Self-contained script (no config files)
- TAR based backups
- Compression
- Encryption
- Local backups
- Cloud-based backups
- PATH based backups
- Include list based backups
- MYSQL/MariaDB based backups
- Backup images reporting
- Backup Retention period
- MYSQL/MariaDB DB Backups
The installation continuous as simple as ever assuming all dependencies are installed but that will be listed if missing when running the configure flag.
$ mkdir ~/backup
$ cd ~/backup
$ wget -qO smalltarbkp http://bit.ly/2NRidz8
$ chmod 755 smalltarbkp
$ echo “alias smalltarbkp=’~/backup/smalltarbkp'” >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ smalltarbkp -configure
After that, all you have to do is run backups. You can backup locally or to the cloud in this case mega.nz
For those unsure of the http://bit.ly link just paste it in your browser and you will see it’s just the backup script 🙂
