Introduction

    cronBackUp takes on the necessary task of backing up files and directories that you
    can't afford to loose. It uses daily, weekly and monthly backup scheduling to cover
    what you did today,  a couple of weeks ago or four months ago. You have full control
    over incrementing, compressing, storing, encrypting and transferring to remote locations.

    All from one small configuration file. 10 settings. Really there's only one mandatory
    setting, just list some path(s) for the script to backup.

    It uses cron to schedule your backup hat trick, so you don't have to. That way you
    can be sure that it really does get done. Cron will email you the results or you can
    read the log file that is written to the bkupPath. That way you'll know almost immediately
    if any problems occured during the backup. Sometime, down the road, if you ever loose
    a file due to a mistaken command or software error, even worse a hardware failure, you'll
    find it waiting to be restored at one of your backup locations.

These are bash scripts, you will need to be familiar with the linux terminal.
