I created this script some time ago to back up my SimpleHelp server configuration, intending to facilitate easy restoration in case of issues with updates, etc. While I didn’t complete the restore functions, I believe it could be beneficial to someone aiming for the same goal.

On my server, I set the script to run on login via SSH in `.bashrc`:

```auto
# Start SimpleHelp Script
/root/sh-tools.sh
```

Feel free to modify the script to suit your own needs
