The script follows. Note that I'm just synchronizing some directories from
my $HOME -- stuff left sitting in there won't get synchronized (though one
could probably fix this pretty easily).
(The crontab line is:
30 5 * * * $HOME/bin/sync-stuff
so it'll run every day at 05:30)
#!/bin/zsh
# location to back up to
LOC=/mnt/backup/andfarm-home
# list of directories to back up
BACKUP='bin MozillaFirebird doc evolution cdev'
cd $HOME
# Back up dotfiles
echo Backing up dotfiles
rsync -a --delete .* $LOC
# Back up other important stuff (except MP3s)
for x in `echo $BACKUP`
echo Backing up $x
rsync -a --delete --delete-excluded --exclude "/doc/mp3**" $x $LOC
echo Backup/sync process complete
