===== Copyjob =====

This script copies all your .jpg and .avi captures to a mounted NAS. Before it does so, it will check if there is a directory with the date of today. If it doesnt exist it will create one with the subdirectories "Videos" and "Pictures". After that it copies the files to a non-changing local directory and then from there to the created directories on your NAS. The script can be executed via crontab.
\\ \\
First mount your NAS.

Second create a file named "copyjob.sh" with the code below

<code bash copyjob.sh>
#!/bin/bash
DATE=`date +%d_%m_%Y`
BASEPATH=/records/
COPYPATH=/records/copy/
NETPATH=/media/nasdir/

if [ ! -d "$NETPATH$DATE" ]; then
  mkdir $NETPATH$DATE
  mkdir $NETPATH$DATE/Videos
  mkdir $NETPATH$DATE/Pictures  
fi

NETPATHAVI=$NETPATH$DATE/Videos
NETPATHJPG=$NETPATH$DATE/Pictures

mv $BASEPATH*.avi $COPYPATH
sleep 10
mv $BASEPATH*.jpg $COPYPATH
sleep 10

mv $COPYPATH*.avi $NETPATHAVI
sleep 10
mv $COPYPATH*.jpg $NETPATHJPG 
sleep 10
</code>

Make sure you use <code>chmod +x copyjob.sh</code> to make it executeable.\\
Create a cronjob for it by inserting the following line to the end in<code> vi /etc/crontab</code> <code sh crontab>0 * * * * /records/copyjob.sh >/dev/null 2>&1</code>
The job will be executed everytime the clock hits 0 minutes (for example 1:00pm 2.00am...)

==== Troubleshooting ====

If the copyjob fails because of "too many arguments" its because mv *.jpg extends that command to mv blabla.jpg xyz.jpg etc... Too many files then cause that error because the command is too long. Instead of the mv command above in the script you can use
<code bash>
find $BASEPATH -name ".jpg" -exec mv {} $NETPATHJPG \;
</code> 

Like this:

<code bash>
find $BASEPATH -name ".avi" -exec mv {} $COPYPATH \;
sleep 10
find $BASEPATH -name ".jpg" -exec mv {} $COPYPATH \;
sleep 10
 
find $COPYPATH -name ".avi" -exec mv {} $NETPATHAVI \;
sleep 10
find $COPYPATH -name ".jpg" -exec mv {} $NETPATHJPG \;
sleep 10
</code>
