## Usage
### Installation
Install latest from the GitHub
[repository](https://github.com/johnowhitaker/autobackup):

## How to use
`autobackup src dest` will make a copy of `src` (which can be a file or
a directory) inside `dir` in a folder with the current date+time, and
clean up any old backups based on the following rules:
- The most recent 5 backups are kept
- For each number of days in `--max_ages` (default is “2,14,60”) the
oldest one below that age is kept.
This ensures that you have a few recent backups, one up to 2 days old,
one up to 2 weeks old and one up to 2 months old.
To run this script hourly,
1. Create a service file (e.g. `/etc/systemd/system/backup.service`):
<!-- -->
[Unit]
Description=Hourly Backup Service
[Service]
ExecStart=autobackup /path/to/src /path/to/dest
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
2. Create a timer file (e.g. `/etc/systemd/system/backup.timer`):
<!-- -->
[Unit]
Description=Run Backup Service Hourly
[Timer]
OnCalendar=hourly
[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
3. Enable and start the timer:
<!-- -->
sudo systemctl enable backup.timer
sudo systemctl start backup.timer
