Example of what I'm talking about:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# Email To ?
TOO="Dist_1 <handle@gmail.com>,Dist_2 <Handle@hotmail.com>"
FROM="User_Name <Handle@gmail.com>"
SUBJECT="Nightly Computer BackUp"
EMAILMESSAGE="/tmp/AutoEmail1"
MBOX="/home/usr/.evolution/mail/local/Outbox"

#This is the email Header
date "+From $FROM %a %b %e %T %Y" > $EMAILMESSAGE
echo "Subject: $SUBJECT" >> $EMAILMESSAGE
echo "From: $FROM" >> $EMAILMESSAGE
echo "To: $TOO" >> $EMAILMESSAGE
echo "">> $EMAILMESSAGE

#Here is the backup part of the program
#First it makes sure the destination is available
#If not it generates an error and exits.
if [ -d /media/EXTERNAL_1T ] ; then
  date "+Start: %a %b %e %T %Y" >> $EMAILMESSAGE
  rsync -rtD --no-l --no-p --no-g --no-o --stats --chmod=ugo=rwX /home/* /media/EXTERNAL_1T
  #This finalizes the email message and sends it.
  echo "Back up of the home directory was successful" >> $EMAILMESSAGE
  date "+END: %a %b %e %T %Y" >> $EMAILMESSAGE
  echo "" >> $EMAILMESSAGE
  cat $EMAILMESSAGE >> $MBOX
else
  #This finalizes the email message and sends it.
  echo "Error Occured: No directory found to back up to." >> $EMAILMESSAGE
  echo "Possibly not mounted or there is a drive error." >> $EMAILMESSAGE
  cat $EMAILMESSAGE >> $MBOX
fi
rm -f $EMAILMESSAGE 
exit 0
