ScriptBackUp is usable for execute one or more backup and more attempts of backup. 
If the backup is still active or already has been executed correctly, the 
new attempt of backup comes cancelled.  

If  has been demanded, after the backup comes executed the shutdown of the system. 
Is possible to set the processes that if they are active, cancelled 
the backup or the shutdown.  

Is possible to run multiple set of backup/shutdown (' sbackup SET_1 SET_2 .... ').

ScriptBackUp has the support for the multiple language.
