Write a script called homebackup that automates tar so the person executing the script always uses the desired options (cvp) and backup destination directory (/var/backups) to make a backup of his or her home directory. Implement the following features:
Test for the number of arguments. The script should run without arguments. If any arguments are present, exit after printing a usage message.
Determine whether the backups directory has enough free space to hold the backup.
Ask the user whether a full or an incremental backup is wanted. If the user does not have a full backup file yet, print a message that a full backup will be taken. In case of an incremental backup, only do this if the full backup is not older than a week.
Compress the backup using any compression tool. Inform the user that the script is doing this, because it might take some time, during which the user might start worrying if no output appears on the screen.
Print a message informing the user about the size of the compressed backup.
