🌟 Automating Backups with Bash Scripting - Day 2! 🌟
As part of my journey to enhance automation skills in cloud engineering, I worked on a Bash script that simplifies and secures the backup process. Here's what it does:
✅ Creates Timestamped Backups: Automatically generates a backup folder with a precise timestamp for clear organization.
✅ Efficient File Synchronization: Uses rsync to copy files seamlessly into the backup directory.
✅ Retention Management: Maintains only the latest 3 backups by removing older ones automatically.
✅ Error Handling: Ensures dependencies like rsync are installed and provides clear instructions if they aren't.
This script is a step toward ensuring data integrity, optimizing storage usage, and automating repetitive tasks—key elements in a professional cloud environment. 🚀
I’m excited about applying such automation techniques in cloud infrastructure projects to streamline operations and improve efficiency.
