    DESCRIPTION:
    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
    SSBackUp (Server Side BackUp) performs full backups of your website and sto-
    res them in separate folder of your server. When backups are created you can
    easily download or delete them. You do not need a ftp client! All operations
    can be performed only using SSBackUp. SSBackUp excludes previous backups du-
    ring  the backup so that  the final backup is not too large. Backups are sor
    ted by date so  the last backup  performed is the first  on the list. And if
    you need to  exclude some folders you can do easily  using a special feature
    included in this  version. Now I created a configuration  panel for the date
    so  you can  easy choose your  format! I really hope you will find this soft
    ware useful. It's all. Thanks!

    PS: if my  scripts don't work  as expected don't worry. Most likely  on your
    server there is  a different version of tar command or the exec function not
    available.

    To view SQLite log you can use https://sqlitebrowser.org/
