Am thinking to have this in my script
#!/bin/bash tar -cvzf /tmp/website-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M).tgz /var/www/htdocs/* find /tmp/website/website*.tgz -ctime +5 -exec rm {} ; # removes older then 5 days
crontab it 30 6 * * * /mypath/myscript

You could create a script and have a variable date --date="5 days ago" append to your tar file and after that, combine it with if syntax. If match, then rm.

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. Can you point me out.
