Automated Backup Bash Script.

Steps To Make:

1. Setting up the Backup Script:
   • create a directory for the script and place it there.
   • set up "source directory" and "destination directory".
   • make the script executable: chmod u+x script.sh
2. Create a Group:
   • use the groupadd command to create a new group named "backupusers": sudo groupadd backupusers**
3. Configure Group Permissions:
   • change the ownership of the script to the new group: chown :backupusers script.sh
   • allow the group to execute the scrip: chmod g+x script.sh
4. Create a User:
   • use the useradd command to create a new user named "backupuser":
     sudo useradd -m -G backupusers backupuser
   • add new user to the group:
     sudo usermod -a -G backupusers backupuser
   • Set a password for the new user: sudo passwd backupuser
5. Schedule the Backup Script to run automatically with a Cron Job:
   • open the crontab for the "backupuser": sudo crontab -u backupuser -e
   • schedule the backup script to run daily at 12:00 PM : 0 12 * * * /path/to/script.sh
6. Testing:
   • manually testing the script to ensure it works: sudo -u backupuser /path/to/script.sh
