Magic bash backup script, read more [here](http://ruiabreu.org/2011-05-24-the-magic-backup-script.html)

You can create a new script to store your settings

```bash

#!/bin/bash

SOURCE=$HOME/Documents/Work

SSH_HOST="ruiabreu@atnog"

SSH_PATH="/home/ruiabreu/backups/"

. backup.sh

```

You can also use this script to backup to another location on your hardrive. Here is my example script, that accepts the destination as an argument.

```bash

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$#" != "1" ]; then

	echo "Usage: backup-home /dst/base/path"

	exit 1

fi

SOURCE=$HOME

DSTPATH=$1

. backup.sh

```
