Hi everyone! Today we're making a retention script for backups. It is written in bash on linux. You can use bash on other platforms as well and it will be the same but since it is the native shell of ubuntu 23.04, which I'm using atm, I will use it here.

This script is going to give you 6 daily backup and 3 weekly backup retention. The backup script is seperate and will be shown in a different video. We're gonna use globbing to rename files and find them. Pretty cool stuff.

As always, let me know if you have any questions. Write me an email on hauisminecraft@gmail.com or add me on matrix @haui:matrix.giftedmc.com

Also, the question I asked on stack overflow is this one: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77514672/make-backup-removal-logic-in-bash

Feel free to request a video on linux, scripting and admin things and I will consider making it. :)
