Fedora :: Generic PHP CL Backup Script?

Here's a PHP5 script I wrote to do automated backups from my main hard drive, to a separate backup hard drive. I run it overnight using a cron job.I tried to write it so it is clonable and easily modified for making backups of your system. Please take it and modify it to suit your needs.This script will copy the contents of a directory to the backup drive. It creates a unique directory backup name, based on the current time. When there are more thanNUMBER_REQUIRED_BACKUPS in the backed-up directory $BACKUP_GROUPNAME, the oldest backup will be deleted. This allows you to keep n number of the latest backups. You will need to create the $BACKUP_GROUPNAME directory on the backup drive, so the script has somewhere to write the backed-up directories to.PHP Code:
