I want to create bash script to have a zip copy from a website running on linux /var/www/htdocs/* local on the same box on different directory I am thinking to do a local backup using crontab (snapshot my web) tar -cvzf /tmp/website-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M).tgz /var/www/htdocs/* This command will create a file /tmp/website-20110101-1459.tgz I want it run on daily basis and to keep the last 5days backup on the box and remove older version than 5days.
A quick way to do it is to use the day of the week: website-$(date +%u).tgz It will automaticaly keep the last 7 days... Otherwise, you will have to use date calculations...
