# backup-script

**DESCRIPTION**

 - This script is pretty simple. But it is ideal for periodic backing up your small-scale sites.

 - This script needs to be installed gdrive in order to work. Detailed information can be found at https://github.com/prasmussen/gdrive

 - This script can be used to upload your site files and database you have hosted on the VPS to Google Drive.

 -   This script does not keep your backups on your server. Also, your Google Drive account may only have 1 backup.

 - You can run this script manually or automatically using cron.

 - If you use Cron, you can decide when backups will be taken.  Just remember that your Google Drive account has 1 backup.

----------

**USAGE**

 - First edit the "CHANGE BY YOURSELF" section according to your own information.

 - Upload the script to your server.

 - Do not forget to make the script executable. `chmod a+x backup.sh`

 - Add a cron job if you want to make a periodic backup.

 - A sample cron job (for backing up on Monday at 1:00 am UTC) :

	 - Open the crontab editor with the  `crontab -e`  command.

    - Add the bottom line: `\* 1 * * 6 /backup.sh >/dev/null 2>&1`

 - If tar, mysqldump, zip and gdrive commands are in different locations, please update `export PATH` line.
