Updates and improvements Issue #871: fix backup script

install.sh installScripts function: update script not being copied over to /opt therefore update funcion was probably broken. changed script to copy all .sh scripts from .pivpn/scripts directory.

Added backup script to bash-completion Added backup script to pivpn script

update.sh Commented the update from master branch to avoid users trying to update test from master.
