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 Ignacio Gómez Bogotá Colombia -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subjecthttps://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
