Assuming daily backups:
FN="etc-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).tar.gz"
OLDFN="etc-$(date +%Y-%m-%d -d yesterday).tar.gz"
# if you want to update the archive everyday and still
# save the older archives.
cp $OLDFN $FN
tar ufz $FN /etc
# but you don't want to do that. You want to do
# somthing like
find /etc -cnewer $OLDFN | xargs tar cfz $FN
exit 0
