Nginx Insight Guide tools/backup-perm.sh backup & restore file/directory permissions

Update tools/backup-perm.sh

From getting started guide step 2

When you upload via root user in sftp etc, you upload files as root user/group permissions so need to change them to nginx user/group. You can do that manually as per getting started guide step 2 or via cronjob run for tools/backup-perm.sh script. Just updated 123.09beta01's tools/backup-perm.sh script to also ensure nginx user/group permissions are set so you can copy the /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/backup-perm.sh script to /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/tools/backup-perm.sh

copy archive flag to preserve permssions where domain.com is your domain name

Code (Text):

mkdir -p /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/tools
cp -a /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/backup-perm.sh /home/nginx/domains/domain.com/tools/backup-perm.sh

then as per script instructions setup cronjob
