brokosz / New simple file backup command.sh

Created July 2, 2025 02:31

How It Works: 1. First Backup: Creates a simple .bak file (e.g., file.txt → file.txt.bak). 2. Subsequent Backups: Adds a timestamp before .bak to avoid overwriting existing backups (e.g., file.txt → file.txt_20241130_123456.bak). Examples: • First run: bu file.txt Creates: file.txt.bak • Subsequent runs: bu file.txt Creates: file.txt_20241130_12…

	bak() {
	# If a basic .bak file doesn't exist, create it
	if [ ! -e "$1.bak" ]; then
	cp "$1" "$1.bak"
	else
	# Otherwise, create a timestamped backup with .bak at the end
	cp "$1" "$1_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).bak"
	fi
	}
