i´m writing a script to backup some files, the idea is to backup the file
adding the date. I will copy the file tgz to another folder. This is a daily
backup and it is so large. So I need the new one file tgz replace the oldest
in the folder comparing the date how to do that?
i did something like that :
fecha=`date +"%y%m%d"`
1)
time tar -czvf /var/BACKUP/ftpuser.$fecha.tgz /home/ftpuser so the result is
ftpuser060905.tgz (size 30gb) so next day I need the new file tgz
ftpuser070905.tgz replaces the previous one i mean, delete the previous one
and put the new one. How to do that?, sorry i'm not good at programing
thanks
