my first script

[energiya]

Hi,

After deleting something that I shouldn't have, I decided to use a backup program so I installed simple-backup using aptitude. Ok... it works! Now I decided to make a very simple backup script so that I can save my work to a vfat partition. After quickly reading a tutorial, I made this:

#!/bin/sh
BPATH=/media/hda6/backup
DIRN=$BPATH"/"`date +%F`
if [ ! -d $DIRN ]; then
echo -n "$DIRN: No such directory. Creating... "
mkdir $DIRN
echo "done"
else
echo $DIRN
echo -n "Direcory exists. Are you sure you want to overwite? [y/n]:"
read answ
case "$answ" in
["y","Y"])
echo -n "Removing data... "
cd $DIRN
rm -r *
echo "done"
;;
["n","N"])
echo "Exiting..."
exit 0
;;
esac
fi
echo "saving:"
echo -n "sources.list... "; cp /etc/apt/sources.list $DIRN"/sources.list"; echo "done"
echo -n "menu.lst... "; cp /boot/grub/menu.lst $DIRN"/menu.lst"; echo "done"

It works, but this is my first "more complex" script, and I'm sure I made something wrong, and if not, is there a more "professional" way of doing this?

P.S.
I'm not going to save sources.list and menu.lst, I'm just using these as an example. I will use it to copy my work (crossplatfom programming using fp).

Thanks
