Shell Script

Hi everyone. I'm new and was looking for some help?

I need to create a shell script that has a menu and offers the following

1. back up (Where the user can specify just where they wish it to go)
2. restore (user can choose previous backup that they want to restore)

I need to insure the backups have the date of the backup in them. I also need to store the log files generated by these files in an appropriate as well as generate them onto the screen for the user to see. The script I want to create has to be able to tell the user what's going on at each stage, before asking the user if they want to quit or backup/restore again.

I'm in year five and they've not really taught us much but they expect us to do that. I'd love some help if it is possible.
