devkit is a collection of useful tools for mac development and ubuntu systems administration with:

• a configuration bundle vim+pathogen+nerdtree and other vim plugins all set up as submodules
• lots of bash aliases for LAMP stack sys admin catered towards Drupal, git, Ubuntu and Mac users with some Rails and Python thrown in
• backup scripts

cd ~
ln -s ~/path/to/devkit/.vimrc .vimrc 
ln -s ~/path/to/devkit/.vim .vim

cd devkit
git submodule init
git submodule update

On Linux, put this in ~/.bashrc:

source ~/path/to/devkit/linux.bashrc

On a Mac, put the above and the following in ~/.bashrc. You can always put it in .profile, but then it won't work in screen:

source ~/path/to/devkit/mac.bashrc

Schedule the following with cron on your user

# Backup files daily at 6am and 10pm PST (9pm and 1pm GMT+8)
00 6/22 * * *  ~/devkit/backup-latest.sh

# Make remote backups weekly on Sundays, 8am PST (11pm GMT+8)
00 8 * * 0 ~/devkit/backup-archive.sh

Go ahead and copy these files elsewhere to override them

Tip: when having several users on a machine, you should run the regular backups as the user and the remote backups as root

Don't depend solely on this for backups. Also consider:

• disk image backups (Linode has this)
• VCS e.g. Git
