If you are using git bash, (here it is for bash on windows WSL) this script backs up your Opera session and session storage files to a specified directory.
=> Please customize the placeholders before running it.
FIRST
Create a file where to put your script, for example:MY_SCRIPT.sh
Then inlcude the code:
#!/bin/bash TIMESTAMP=$(date +"%Y%m%d_%H%M%S") # Initialize an array to store issues issues=() success=() # Define source paths with placeholders SOURCE_BASE="C:/Users/%USERNAME%/AppData/Roaming/Opera Software/Opera Stable/Default" SOURCE_SESSIONS="$SOURCE_BASE/Sessions" SOURCE_SESSION_STORAGE="$SOURCE_BASE/Session Storage" # Define backup destination with placeholder BACKUP_DIR="D:/%PATH-TO-DESTINATION%/Opera/session saves/$TIMESTAMP" # Create backup directory if ! mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"; then issues+=("Failed to create backup directory.") else success+=("Backup directory created successfully.") fi # Create session directories SESSIONS_DIR="$BACKUP_DIR/Sessions" SESSION_STORAGE_DIR="$BACKUP_DIR/Session_Storage" if ! mkdir -p "$SESSIONS_DIR"; then issues+=("Failed to create Sessions directory.") else success+=("Sessions directory created successfully.") fi if ! mkdir -p "$SESSION_STORAGE_DIR"; then issues+=("Failed to create Session Storage directory.") else success+=("Session Storage directory created successfully.") fi # Copy session files if cp -r "$SOURCE_SESSIONS/"* "$SESSIONS_DIR"; then success+=("Successfully copied session files to $SESSIONS_DIR") else issues+=("Failed to copy session files.") fi # Copy session storage files if cp -r "$SOURCE_SESSION_STORAGE/"* "$SESSION_STORAGE_DIR"; then success+=("Successfully copied session storage files to $SESSION_STORAGE_DIR") else issues+=("Failed to copy session storage files.") fi # Set permissions for the script chmod 400 "%YOUR-PATH%/%MY_SCRIPT%.sh" # Read owner, no write, no execute if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then success+=("Permissions set successfully to read only for script and user.") else issues+=("Failed to set permissions.") fi # Log file creation LOG_FILE="$BACKUP_DIR/backup_log.log" # Log issues and successes if [ ${#issues[@]} -eq 0 ]; then echo "# No issues reported during backup process." >> "$LOG_FILE" echo "No issues reported during backup process." else echo "# Backup process completed with following issues:" >> "$LOG_FILE" echo "Backup process completed with issues: see log file for details." for issue in "${issues[@]}"; do echo " - $issue" >> "$LOG_FILE" done fi if [ ${#success[@]} -eq 6 ]; then echo "## Fully completed backup process, success of the following process:" >> "$LOG_FILE" for success in "${success[@]}"; do echo " - $success" >> "$LOG_FILE" done else echo "## Backup process incomplete, success of the following process:" >> "$LOG_FILE" echo "Backup process incomplete, see log file for details." if [ ${#success[@]} -gt 0 ]; then for success in "${success[@]}"; do echo " - $success" >> "$LOG_FILE" done else echo "## Backup process incomplete, no success to list!" >> "$LOG_FILE" fi fi # Final messages echo "Backup process completed to:" echo "$BACKUP_DIR." echo "See backup_log file in created folder for details about issues or success." echo "Opening directory..." explorer.exe "$(cygpath -w "$BACKUP_DIR")" echo "Goodbye!"Notes:
Replace %USERNAME% with your Windows username. Replace %PATH-TO-DESTINATION% with your desired backup destination path. Ensure you have the necessary permissions to run the script.(Use on the MY_SCRIPT.sh file that contains the code:
chmod +wx MY_SCRIPT.sh).
Then, run with this command:
./MY_SCRIPT.sh
You should see the completion messages in the terminal and explorer should open in the created folder.
Edit the code if you want to open folder differently or not at all and the log file created.
