This article we deliver shell scripts to backup your documents and directories from you nearby Linux system to a faraway Linux server the use of rsync command. This could be an interactive manner to carry out backup, in which you want to offer faraway backup server hostname/ip deal with and folder location. We maintain a separate report in which you want to offer documents and directories that want backup. We have brought scripts in which first script ask password after every report have been copied (when you have enabled ssh authentication keys , then password might be now no longer be asked) and in 2d script password might be precipitated most effective once. We are going to backup bckup.txt, dataconfig.txt, docs and oracledb.
