Automatized backup of files and directories

This is again a script that people could write easily if they understood some shell scripting, but it is quite well implemented with logging and all and maybe spares a couple of minutes/hours of your time. 
You should use it with crontab on a daily basis. For details take a look at the desc. of the MySQL backup script.

Filesystem backup v1.3.0
nice(with "-n +19") to limit the CPU resources consumed by the bzip2 compressionFilesystem backup v1.4.0
find ... -mtime +${days}returned${days}+2 items. Replaced it with anls -1t+tail -n +$((days+1))combo.Filesystem backup v1.5.0
daysvariable can now be specified for eachdo_backupinvocation separately. Note that this breaks backward compatibility if you used previously the third option ofdo_backupfor specifyingfindparameters. If that's the case, you've to insert now a-sign before thefindparameter list so the script'll use the globaldaysvalue for the givendo_backupinvocation (as it did before).
