Bash script that performs local, remote, and ssh tunneled backups with rsync and disk usage analysis

Bash script that performs local, remote, and ssh tunneled backups with rsync and disk usage analysis.

To use it, source it!

#!/bin/bash

## set the backup target
BACKUP_PATH=/mnt/backup-drive

## update the script
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LaKing/rsync-backup/master/backup.sh > backup.sh

## use the script
source backup.sh

## Action! ... for example:
## create a local backup with pure rsync

    local_backup /etc /root /srv

## create a remote backup from s1 and s2 via ssh

    server_backup s1.example.com /etc /root /srv
    server_backup s2.example.com /etc /root /home

## create a remote backup via ssh tunnel. The proxy is example.com

    remote_backup example.com 10.9.8.7 /etc /srv /var/www/html

Make sure all remote servers and all tunnels have ssh key based authentication, and fingeprint identifications set up. Needless to say, rsync and ssh have to be installed too.
