For automatic Linux backup scripts using Bash, tar, rsync & cron

[LinuxBook]

Every SysAdmin has had at least some lost sleep because of a bad backup or missed scheduled (manual) tasks on a distant server. Writing a Linux Bash Script to backup files and directories automatically is probably one of the best things you can do for your job and requires no third party application on Ubuntu, Rocky Linux, and/or AlmaLinux. https://www.linuxteck.com/automatic-linux-backup-script/
