After I [finally](/en/read:610b12bfd1e90) installed [Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon](https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4102) and used my `install.sh` script, I fine-tuned the script to my needs since I'd missed to add a lot. Shortly after, I started to write a backup bash script. I have written suchimilar bash scripts for my Linux setup before, but they were not good. I thought Iof backuploading the files to [Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage](https://www.backblaze.com/b2/cloud-storage.html), but it felt more natural to just backup them filesup ton my external HDD.
----
Instead of having my bash scripts on a git pagrepo like [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/), I have them on my personal wiki which is a self-hosted [BookStack](https://www.bookstackapp.com/). And since version 20.2 of Linux Mint Cinnamon have [WebApps](https://www.linuxmint.com/rel_ulyssa_cinnamon_whatsnew.php), I have added [Airikr Wiki](https://wiki.airikr.me/) to my taskbar. Perfect!

Since I am a total newbie to bash, my scripts might look very amateurish. But I am a learner and might improve my scripts along the way.

I love how simple it is to pass a command to to the bash script by running `backtore.sh backup` to run the backup process and `backtore.sh restore` to run the restore.
