Backup von Dateien & MySQL DBs via FTP

Nachdem ich den unglaublich weiten Interwebs kein Shell-Script gefunden habe, das mir zusagt (oder das ich mit meinen Wissensstand verstehe) habe ich jetzt selber eines geschrieben. Das war für mich schon eine ziemliche Herausforderung, da ich so gut wie über keine Kenntnisse verfüge.

Da es aber recht gut gelungen ist, dachte ich stelle es mal hier in den Blog, auf das es anderen Hilft.
(Zum Lesen des Scripts den Button drücken)

#! /bin/bash
# Script to backup files by compressing them local and transfer to ftp
# Don’t copy this script in the $BACKUPPATH, it will be deleted at the end of this script. Same goes for the folder itself
# to run this script by a crontab on mondays at 6am type „crontab -e“ and add the line „* 6 * * 1 /root/Scripts/ftp_backup.sh“
# If you change the file path and / or name of this script, change your crontab entry
# Give execute rights by „chmod u+x ftp_backup.sh“
