Backify 🗃️
A powerful and automated bash script for backing up all kinds of Linux data, archiving it and pushing it to a remote host.
What is Backify? 👾
Backify is a shell script that helps you automate the backup process of all kinds of data from Linux systems. It differs from other backup scripts because it gives you the flexibility to choose what you want to save, ranging from system logs to containers. The script was tailored to meet personal needs as there was no complete solution for the specific use case.
