Using the [basic example](../Makefile.md), you can make a complete backup of all backup files.
|
|
This file will depend upon everything inside the `$(storage_directory)`.
|
|
Unlike `bash`, you can't just say `storage_directory/*`: the pattern must be stated as a 'wildcard'.
|
|
|
|
```make
|
|
$(storage_directory)/backup.tgz: $(wildcard $(storage_directory)/*.md)
|
|
tar czf $@ $^
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `make` rules start by processing variables:
|
|
|
|
```make
|
|
backups/backup.tgz: $(wildcard backups/*.md)
|
|
tar czf backups/backup.tgz $^
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then the `wildcard` variable equals whichever backup files are in the `backups/` directory:
|
|
|
|
```make
|
|
backups/backup.tgz: backups/backup_29.md backups/backup_30.md
|
|
tar czf backups/backup.tgz backups/backup_29.md backups/backup_30.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The phony `backup` target should now point to this tar backup.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```make
|
|
current_minute != date +%M
|
|
|
|
storage_directory = backups
|
|
|
|
.PHONY: backup
|
|
backup: $(storage_directory)/backup.tgz
|
|
$(storage_directory)/backup.tgz: $(wildcard $(storage_directory)/*.md)
|
|
tar czf $@ $^
|
|
|
|
README.md: Makefile
|
|
echo "Basic makefile example." > $@
|
|
echo "" >> $@
|
|
echo '```' >> $@
|
|
cat $< >> $@
|
|
echo '```' >> $@
|
|
|
|
$(storage_directory)/backup_$(current_minute).md: README.md
|
|
mkdir -p $(@D)
|
|
cp $< $@
|
|
|
|
```
