Backup Script

Create a script that backs up important files and directories to a specified location.

Features:

• Takes a source directory and a destination directory as inputs.

• Compresses the files into a .tar.gz archive.

• Logs the backup process.

Example:

bash

#!/bin/bash
# Backup script

echo "Enter the source directory:"
read src
echo "Enter the destination directory:"
read dest

timestamp=$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")
backup_file="$dest/backup_$timestamp.tar.gz"

tar -czvf $backup_file $src
echo "Backup completed: $backup_file"
