# zipBraT2
Archive/Compress and manage files

## What the heck is it?
It is a shell backup script written for bash on linux. Tested on CentOS and RedHat.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF DATA --- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Mostly meant to backup a Drupal Webserver and its nested websites but it is versatile and configurable for other use cases.

__Features:__
* File-level backups with tar and bz2.
* SCP Transfer of created backups to pre-configured server
* Customizable HTML Log generation
* Option switches for versatility
* Script documentation and generalization to support extensibility and modification

## Why the stupid name?
_zipBraT2_ is an anagram of Tar Bzip2, the compression method used for the file backups.

## This is pretty amateur...
That may be true, however, I am still learning and adding modifications all the time.

Since I actually use this every day I am always finding things to improve and add.

It isn't that impressive but it has taught me a lot, even if I mostly do OOP.
