- Clone the github repository
- Symlink the 'bak.py' to somewhere convenient eg.'/usr/local/bin/bak'
- Just type 'bak' in terminal and the present working directory will be backed up
- A message at the end of the backup process will tell you, if the process was successful
- By default, files will be backed up inside 'bak' directory in user's home
- Force bak to backup a non-pwd or file by passing the '-s' flag along with directory path
- The configuration file is automatically generated as '/home/user/.config/bak.conf'
- Add complete path to directories to which the backups should be saved
- Separate each directory in the configuration file by a newline
- Lines beginning with '#' are treated as comments
