startsys-backup is simple backup utility to make repeated or single use website backups to html using wget.

This application requires wget to be installed on your system. Below are the instructions for installing wget for different operating systems:

Windows

1. Download and install Git Bash, which comes with wget.
2. To check the installation, open Git Bash and type wget --version.

macOS

1. If you have Homebrew installed, you can install wget by typing brew install wget in Terminal.
2. To check the installation, open Terminal and type wget --version.

Linux (Debian-based)

1. wget is usually pre-installed on most Linux distributions. If not, you can install it by typing sudo apt-get install wget in the Terminal.
2. To check the installation, open Terminal and type wget --version.

After wget is installed, you can install startsys-backup by running npm install -g startsys-backup in your terminal.

To backup a website, run startsys-backup <url> (Ex. startsys-backup https://www.startup-systems.com/ ). You'll then be prompted to choose the backup frequency (1:one-time, 2:daily, 3:weekly, or 4:monthly).

Please note that if you choose daily, weekly, or monthly, the backups will run at the time you start the command and will continue at the same time based on the frequency you chose.
