PERL Programming

Project - Backup and Restore

Details:

>The objective of this project is to write a Perl script (backup_restore.pl) to automate the backup and restore process.

>This process should ask the user whether s/he wishes to backup or restore data.

>This may be done with a command line option or with a text prompt/response, as you see fit.

>The program should be able to work on an individual file, a single directory, or a complete directory tree.

>It should ask about hidden files also.

>It should incorporate checks about overwriting data that already exists.

>Assume all backup/restore will be on a single computer (not over a network).

>You should address the options of running with or without root privileges.
