Hi all,
I want to automate backup process into crontab.
What I usually manually do is:
tar zcvf filename-date.tar.gz /somedirectory
Can anyone help me with the script needed that can include the date in the filename? Thanks.


Well just assign date to something and then use it.
Like:

OLDFILE = 'myfile.gz'
TODAY = `date +%F`
NEWFILE = $TODAY-$OLDFILE

mv $OLDFILE $NEWFILE


Cheers,
Mike
