util::backup_file (public)

util::backup_file -file_path file_path \
    [ -backup_suffix backup_suffix ]

Defined in packages/acs-tcl/tcl/utilities-procs.tcl

Backs up (move) the file or directory with given path to a file/directory with a backup suffix. Will avoid overwriting old backup files by adding a number to the filename to make it unique. For example, suppose you are backing up /web/my-server/packages/my-package/file.txt and the file has already been backed up to /web/my-server/packages/my-package/file.txt.bak. Invoking this proc will then generate the backup file /web/my-server/packages/my-package/file.txt.bak.2

Switches:

-file_path (required)

-backup_suffix (defaults to ".bak") (optional)

The suffix to add to the backup file.
