The script should offer a way to backup (and possibly restore) all the data in an automated way, create a dump of the database, save all files in the VirtualHost DocRoot and also the entry in the VHost config file.

The backup should then be saved as a compressed archive in a system directory and/or offered to the user to be stored somewhere safe.

The script should also allow the user to pass a compressed archive as a parameter to restore a backup.

What if we want to install a website inside the DocRoot instead of creating a VirtualHost?

The script should be able to fully manage a website installed inside the DocRoot as well as those installed inside subdirectories.

It's probably cleaner and easier to use a different folder to hold the vhost.conf files separated, one per each site, uniquely named just to be easily recognizable and usable by the script itself.

This will probably be a requirement in order for the script to work, it'll be just a matter of creating a directory in the $APACHECONF directory and add a line to include every file under it inside the main httpd.conf file.

Since the options are growing in number and it's getting hard to maintain such a large script it's better to split the main file into smaller "libraries" and build it for distribution.

It is also a good idea to drop getopts for a more manageable while loop that includes both short and long options on the command line to improve readability.
