 'Pendrive Backup' is a script for Linux systems, that can be installed multiple times for different back up jobs.
 The idea being that if you are working on a project and want to switch between computers, say desktop at the office and laptop at home, this script makes it easy to transfer the relevant data back and forth between computers.
