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

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.
