# Advice is to backup: config, database, theme, files.
# I'm running this script from /var/www.

echo "Backup config to $_fileconf..."
sudo tar -czf "$_fileconf" ./bolt/app/config

sudo tar -czf "$_filetheme" ./bolt/public/theme

echo "Backup files to $_filefiles..."
sudo tar -czf "$_filefiles" ./bolt/public/files

# For completeness I'm also taking a backup of the entire Bolt subfolder.
