Or perhaps something like this:
#!/bin/bash
# First move old backups to deletable backups
for x in $( ls /shared/ |grep gz.old ); do
mv /shared/$x /shared/$x.deleteme;
done
# Now move current backups to old backups
for y in $( ls /shared/ |grep backup ); do
mv /shared/$y /shared/$y.old;
done
# Now create new backups from the /home dir
for z in $( ls /home/ ); do
tar cvfz /shared/$z.backup.tar.gz /home/$z;
done
Not the best script in the world, but for 30 seconds worth of work, it is
usable. This example has some bugs in it, (i.e. on the third pass, after
the .old files are renamed .old.deletme, the second loop reneames them
again to .old.deleteme.old due to a bad choice in grep arguenemts and
naming conventions)
anyway, you can use something like that, then set up a cron job to delete
the deleteme files after two weeks, (assuming you are doing only weekly
backups).
cheers
