Filedot To Ls Land 8 Prev Rar New -

That's normal. cd - prints the directory name. If it goes nowhere, you haven't used cd before. Use cd $OLDPWD explicitly.

The prev keyword suggests you want to return to where you came from after inspecting land.

Save this as backup_land.sh:

#!/bin/bash
# Backup script: filedot + ls + prev + rar new
SOURCE_DIR="land"
BACKUP_NAME="land_backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).rar" filedot to ls land 8 prev rar new
if [ ! -d "$SOURCE_DIR" ]; then
echo "Error: $SOURCE_DIR not found."
exit 1
fi
echo "Entering $SOURCE_DIR..."
cd "$SOURCE_DIR"
echo "Listing all files (including dotfiles):"
ls -lah That's normal
echo "Returning to previous directory..."
cd -
echo "Creating new RAR version 8 archive: $BACKUP_NAME"
rar a -ma5 -md512m -m5 -r "$BACKUP_NAME" "$SOURCE_DIR"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Backup completed: $(realpath $BACKUP_NAME)"
else
echo "RAR creation failed."
fi
 Run it: 
  chmod +x backup_land

Run it:

chmod +x backup_land.sh
./backup_land.sh
