How to compress multiple folders to separetly another folders and tar.gz - linux

Question

How I can compress files in this scenario:
I have folder structure like this:
User1:
/home/user1/websites/website1
/home/user1/websites/website2
User2:
/home/user2/websites/website1
/home/user2/websites/website2
/home/user2/websites/website3
And I try now (need) to do backup like this:
Folders for backups per user:
/backup/date/websites/user1/
/backup/date/websites/user1/
And I need backup tar in user directory separately per website like this:
/backup/date/websites/user1/website1.tar.gz
/backup/date/websites/user1/website2.tar.gz
/backup/date/websites/user2/website1.tar.gz
/backup/date/websites/user2/website2.tar.gz
/backup/date/websites/user2/website3.tar.gz
I have script like this one to do half of this work:
#VARIABLES
BKP_DATE=`date +"%F"`
BKP_DATETIME=`date +"%H-%M"`
#BACKUPS FOLDERS
BKP_DEST=/backup/users
BKP_DEST_DATE=$BKP_DEST/$BKP_DATE
BKP_DEST_TIME=$BKP_DEST_DATE/$BKP_DATETIME
BACKUP_DIR=$BKP_DEST_TIME
#NUMBER OF DAYS TO KEEP ARCHIVES IN BACKUP DIRECTORY
KEEP_DAYS=7
#Create folders
mkdir -p $BKP_DEST_DATE
mkdir -p $BKP_DEST_TIME
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR
#DELETE FILES OLDER THAN {*} DAYS IN BACKUP SERVER DIRECTORY
#echo 'Deleting backup folder older than '${KEEP_DAYS}' days'
find $BKP_DEST/* -type d -ctime +${KEEP_DAYS} -exec rm -rf {} \;
#Do backups
#List only names available users data directories
usersdirectories=`cd /home && find * -maxdepth 0 -type d | grep -Ev "(tmp|root)"`
#Creating directories per user name
for i in $usersdirectories; do
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR/$i/websites
done
But if u see, i haven't how to do tar this for separately archives. In my half script I have done:
Create folder structure for backup by datetime (/backup/users/day/hour-minutes)
Create folder structure for backup by users names (/backup/users/day/hour-minutes/user1)
Thanks for all users who try to help me!

Answer 1

I will try to complete your script, but I can't debug it because your environment is hard to reproduce. It is better in the future that you provide a minimal reproducible example.
#VARIABLES
BKP_DATE=$(date +"%F")
BKP_DATETIME=$(date +"%H-%M")
#BACKUPS FOLDERS
BKP_DEST=/backup/users
BKP_DEST_DATE=$BKP_DEST/$BKP_DATE
BKP_DEST_TIME=$BKP_DEST_DATE/$BKP_DATETIME
BACKUP_DIR=$BKP_DEST_TIME
#NUMBER OF DAYS TO KEEP ARCHIVES IN BACKUP DIRECTORY
KEEP_DAYS=7
#Create folders
mkdir -p $BKP_DEST_DATE
mkdir -p $BKP_DEST_TIME
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR
#DELETE FILES OLDER THAN {*} DAYS IN BACKUP SERVER DIRECTORY
#echo 'Deleting backup folder older than '${KEEP_DAYS}' days'
find $BKP_DEST/* -type d -ctime +${KEEP_DAYS} -exec rm -rf {} \;
#Do backups
#List only names available users data directories
usersdirectories=$(cd /home && find * -maxdepth 0 -type d | grep -Ev "(tmp|root)")
#Creating directories per user name
for i in $usersdirectories; do
for w in $(/home/$i/websites/*); do
ws=$(basename $w)
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR/$i/websites/$ws
tar -czvf $BACKUP_DIR/$i/websites/$ws.tar.gz /home/$i/websites/$ws
done
done
I suppose there are no blanks inside the directory names website1, etc...
I also replaced the deprecated backticks operators of your code by $(...).

I wish I could comment to ask for more clarification but I will attempt to help you.
#!/bin/bash
# example for user1
archive_path=/backup/data/websites/user1
file_path=/home/user1/websites/*
for i in $file_path
do
tar czf $archive_path/$(basename $i).tar.gz $file_path
done

Okay, after small fix. Version from Pierre working now. If u want, u can adjust it for yours need.
#VARIABLES
BKP_DATE=$(date +"%F")
BKP_DATETIME=$(date +"%H-%M")
#BACKUPS FOLDERS
BKP_DEST=/backup
BKP_DEST_DATE=$BKP_DEST/$BKP_DATE
BKP_DEST_TIME=$BKP_DEST_DATE/$BKP_DATETIME
BACKUP_DIR=$BKP_DEST_TIME
#NUMBER OF DAYS TO KEEP ARCHIVES IN BACKUP DIRECTORY
KEEP_DAYS=7
#Create folders
mkdir -p $BKP_DEST_DATE
mkdir -p $BKP_DEST_TIME
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR
#DELETE FILES OLDER THAN {*} DAYS IN BACKUP SERVER DIRECTORY
#echo 'Deleting backup folder older than '${KEEP_DAYS}' days'
find $BKP_DEST/* -type d -ctime +${KEEP_DAYS} -exec rm -rf {} \;
#Do backups
#List only names available users data directories
usersdirectories=$(cd /home/user && find * -maxdepth 0 -type d | grep -Ev "(tmp|root)")
#Creating directories per user name
for i in $usersdirectories; do
for w in /home/user/$i/*; do
#echo ok
ws=$(basename $w)
echo mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR/$i
echo tar -czvf $BACKUP_DIR/$i/$ws.tar.gz /home/user/$i/$ws
done
done
