Installing the eloy bash script is simple:

  • put eloy.sh anywhere on your machine
  • add the following to your .bashrc:
alias eloy='path/to/eloy.sh'
  • put the eloy.cf configuration file in your home directory
  • edit the file, filling in your source and target directories and optional excludes
  • rename the file to .eloy

Making a backup

This will create an initial backup if no previous backup has been made in the target directory. Otherwise a partial backup will be created.
