Modifications to a bash script by Konstantin Kovshenin to backup a WordPress site.

[code lang=”bash”]
# This script creates a compressed backup archive of the given directory and the given MySQL table.
# More details on implementation here: https://theme.fm
# Feel free to use this script wherever you want, however you want. We produce open source, GPLv2 licensed stuff.
# Author: Konstantin Kovshenin exclusively for Theme.fm in June, 2011
# Modification by Pete Stoves at September 2013:
# Lives well with ubuntu virtual hosts etc.

# Make sure we have been passed a site name to backup
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
