Help needed for a small backup script

[Vpower]

Hello,

Anybody out there who can help me write a small script that does the following:

1.Create a folder in my /home2/user_backups named with the date the script is run by cron.

2.Delete some user.tar.gz files that I specify

3.Copy the rest of user.tar.gz files to the folder created on step 1.

4.Check for folders with date older than 5 days and delete it.


Pretty please?

you sure?

i think you have a mistake in one of your steps because everything doesn't make sense.

I`m sure. I`ve edited the post a little bit to make it clearer.
Which step do you think doesn`t make sense?

oh now I understand... You missed the spot where you have to extract the gz file before managing its files.

its not a hard script, but i barely remember shell scripting

hope someone will help out

peace,
