backup script for 24/7 Intan RHD recording

backup.sh

#!/bin/bash


## Rational ##
# A lot of data can be generated quickly with the Intan system. To keep the experimental computer
# from running out of space, the data should be regularly copied to a server and removed locally.
# This script does that safely by:
# 1) recursively copying all *.rhd files and deleting them after safe copy.
# 2) recursively copying everything else, but not deleting (saving notes and settings on the experimenal computer.


## Usage ##
#    bash backup.sh LOCAL/DATA/DIRECTORY REMOTE:DATA/DIRECTORY

# Make sure you have shared your ssh keys with the remote computer

local="$1"
remote="$2"

cd $local

find ./ -name "*.rhd" -cmin +11 -print0 | \
rsync -auv --files-from=- --from0 --remove-source-files ./ $remote

find ./ -not -name "*.rhd" -print0 | \
