ideas for use with rsync.net: remove date and delete WORKDIR contents after upload

[kevinmoilar]

Hi. Thank you for this very helpful script!! As rsync.net does its own daily snapshots I want to override existing backups on rsync.net with this script. Maybe it is worth to add a hint in the README that for cloud stores with snapshots built in you may want to remove the date, something like:

139     # Export lxc image to image.tar.gz file.
140     if $LXC image export $LXCCONTAINER-BACKUP-$BACKUPDATE-IMAGE $LXCCONTAINER-BACKUP-IMAGE; then
141         lecho "Image: Succesfully exported an image of $LXCCONTAINER-BACKUP-IMAGE to $WORKDIR/$LXCCONTAINER-BACKUP-IMAGE.tar.gz"
142     else
143         lecho "Image: Could not publish image from $LXCCONTAINER-BACKUP-IMAGE to $WORKDIR/$LXCCONTAINER-BACKUP-IMAGE.tar.gz"

Also deleting the files from $WORKDIR immediately after upload to the cloud store may make sense if the containers are large and space is sparse:

161         lecho "Upload: Backup for $LXCCONTAINER uploaded succesfully to $RCLONETARGET." && rm $WORKDIR/$LXCCONTAINER-BACKUP-IMAGE.tar.gz
162     else
