Script to backup wso2-server directory to an external server

Note : Make sure you have only the wso2-server in the backupDir.
Please pay attention to the bold parts of the script below

Fill-out the backupUser, backupServer and backupDest varibles for the remote backup server.

Improvements
1. You can omit the password promting for scp by configuring keys between your server and remote server. refer[1]
2. You can use incron job[1] to automate backing up on daily (timely) basis.
