Hi,
using tar -cvzpSf -`date “+%Y-%m-%d”`.tgz or
) and uses ISO-Norm for date-string…..
tar -cvzpSf -`date “+%Y-%m-%d-%H:$M”`.tgz
( change colon to dash or underline if you need )
for backups uses every time the right date ( now ) and orders files per date newest last ( automagically
another hint: tar can also made incremental backups….
for disk-backups it’s better to use dump ( refer to zwicky – torture testing backup… )
cheers
