This is a submission for the Amazon Q Developer "Quack The Code" Challenge: Crushing the Command Line What I Built I built a modular, automated backup script in Bash called Q Backup Manager that allows developers and sysadmins to back up important files and directories easily and efficiently. This script includes: Configurable source and destination paths Dry-run mode to preview the backup process Color-coded logging for easy readability Optional cron integration for scheduled backups Built with Amazon Q Developer CLI as a coding companion It solves the common problem of forgetting to back up configuration files, codebases, or logs during fast-paced development — especially in environments where GUIs are unavailable (e.g., WSL, servers, containers). Demo Here are a few screenshots showcasing the tool in action:

What I Built
I built a modular, automated backup script in Bash called Q Backup Manager that allows developers and sysadmins to back up important files and directories easily and efficiently. This script includes:
- Configurable source and destination paths
- Dry-run mode to preview the backup process
- Color-coded logging for easy readability
- Optional cron integration for scheduled backups
- Built with Amazon Q Developer CLI as a coding companion
It solves the common problem of forgetting to back up configuration files, codebases, or logs during fast-paced development — especially in environments where GUIs are unavailable (e.g., WSL, servers, containers).
