+# Automatic backup files script
+
+## Prerquisites
+
+* Rsync (included in Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc)
+* Sudo or Root access
+* Terminal learn
+
+## Quick start
+
+
+1- If disk on save backup is diferent a instalation disk:
+
+Copy UUID your disk
+
+    sudo blkid
+
+Editing disks mount points file
+
+    sudo nano /etc/fstab
+
+Replace backup external disk UUID and mount point for you configuration
+```
+# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
+#
+# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
+# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
+# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
+#
+# systemd generates mount units based on this file, see systemd.mount(5).
+# Please run 'systemctl daemon-reload' after making changes here.
+#
+# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
+
+# Others discks
+UUID=  /boot/efi       vfat    umask=0077      0       1
+
+# backup external disk
+UUID=645648-kadfvadfb86teyn1sd3  /backup-disk    ext4    defaults        0       0
+```
+
+1- Modify custom service:
+
+* Default backup run on 1 hour (RestartSec=3600)
+* Default bash script path is "/home/backup-files.sh" (ExecStart=/to/bash/file)
+
+```
+[Unit]
+Description=Automatic backup files
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=root
+ExecStart=/home/backup-files.sh
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=3600
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+2- Copy service into path /etc/systemd/system/
+
+    sudo cp backup-files.service /etc/systemd/system/
+
+    sudo systemctl dameon-reload
+
+    sudo systemctl enable backup-files.service
+
+
+3- Modify script
+
+```
+# Paths
+external_disk=true // Default backup saved on external disk
+backup_path="/backup-disk" //Disk backup mount point
+origins=("/home/user1/files" "/home/user2/files/documents") // Origins files array
+destinations=("$backup_path/backup-user1" "$backup_path/backup-user2") // Destination backups
+```
+
+4- Copy script into ExecStart= path defined in .service
+
+    sudo cp backup-files.sh /home/
+
+
+5- Test script commands
+
+    sudo bash /home/backup-files.sh
+
+6- If before Test not return never error, then start sevice
+
+    sudo systemctl start backup-files.service
+
+    sudo systemctl status backup-files.service
