Backify 🗃️

I don't know why are You here, but I wouldn't be in Your skin.

What's this ? 👾

Backify is a shell script that helps You automate backup of all kind of data from Linux systems. What makes it different ? Most of backup scripts are specialised for one kind of data backup, while here You get to pick what do You want saved, reaching from system logs all the way to containers. It was tailored to personal needs since there was no complete solution for the specific use case.

How do I configure it ? 🧙‍♂️

All of the options are included in the backup.cfg file. The script has an integrity check for the configuration, so no external command can be embedded into it by any kind of malware. See the table below for configuration options
