backup script to google drive that can be used for multiple directories

this zips the content of the target directory and then uploads it to a google drive backup location

just create a file called ~/_backup_dir.sh and then add the following

BASH - _backup_dir.sh 

tar -czvf ~/backup/$1.tar.gz /var/www/html/$1/
rclone copy ~/backup/$1.tar.gz gdrive:Backup/my.server.name

make sure you chmod +x the ~/_backup_dir.sh file

then create another file called backup_sites.sh and also chmod +x this file

Now we can list the directories we want to zip and upload to google drive.

BASH - backup_sites.sh

#files
~/_backup_dir.sh my.site.one
~/_backup_dir.sh my.site.two

and then when you add a new directory that needs to be backed up to google drive, just add it to the backup_sites.sh file and it will add it to the list.

Also if you want to have automated backups you can now add the backup_sites.sh to a crontab and specify when you want it to run to automatically backup your files. 

Add this to your crontab to backup all sites daily at 8.

BASH - crontab

0 8 * * * ~/backup_all.sh > /dev/null 2>&1

In this case my anchor this week becomes driving almost 2hrs outside of Atlanta to one of my favorite hard core gyms in the world.. MetroFlex aka The Dungeon. The gym owners turn the heat way up so it becomes a fun sweat box and the gym members just watch from afar and leave me alone. I happily drive myself long distances to find MY ANCHOR. Our anchor allows us to have balance, focus and be as productive as possible. And if you're in the middle of a heavy set and your headphones start to fall off your head, like mine did here.. well.. f*ck the headphones. Let em break and fall. You can always get a new pair, but the iron ain't ever gonna lift itself.
