#!/usr/bin/env bash

echo "Rstudio backup has been started on $(date)" >> /var/log/rstudiobackup.log

dir1="/media/somedirectory/backup-dir"

now=$(date +"%m_%d_%Y_%H")
if [ -d "dir1" ]; then
 :
else
 mkdir -p /media/somedirectory/backup-dir
fi

rsync -avhz /media/dironserver/dirtobackup/ /media/somedirectory/backup-dir
cd /media/somedirectory
tar -I pigz -cf $now.tar.gz backup-dir
gpg --recipient naveed@nasheikh.com --trust-model always --encrypt --armor $now.tar.gz
mv $now.tar.gz.asc /srv/some-remote-dir

echo "Rstudio backup has been Completed on $(date)" >> /var/log/rstudiobackup.log
echo "--" >> /var/log/rstudiobackup.log
