# mikes-backup
|
||
|
|
A simple script utilizing rsync for both full and differential backups, and auto folder naming, over SSH
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Honestly this is more of a wrapper around rsync's beautiful functionality. It simply makes daily backups slightly easier by:
|
||
|
|
* Automatically choosing a *full* or *differential* backup type, based on whether it detects an existing *full* backup folder
|
||
|
|
* Automatically generate a folder based on today's date and time, so you can generate a great many *differential* backup folders without manually changing anything
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
