This is a rather fun problem. I just want someone to help check my
work, mostly. Here goes.
I'm switching web hosts because my current VPS provider is worse than
another one I found. I keep my domain registered with a third party
so I can switch around as much as I want. So I'm writing a shell
script I can run on my machine to back up relevant files and to then
save them to my OS X laptop. I will use these files when populating
the new VPS image. I have set up RSA key authentication so that SSH
won't prompt for my password approximately a billion times.
As I am a rather BSD-ish kind of fellow, feel absolutely free to take
this script and modify and use it to your heart's delight. If you
know of any better commands/methods to do this, also do tell!
Here's my script. If you see any problems, syntax errors, etc. please
let me know! It's not something I feel safe about just running as it
could leave annoying files all over my webserver - which wouldn't be
too much fun.
