Karl:
In backup scripts I do the following:
# remove any local archives over 10 days old
echo "Removing 10 days old local archive file(s)..."
find $LOCAL_ARCHIVE -name '*.tgz' -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;
find $LOCAL_ARCHIVE -name '*.bkf' -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;
find $LOCAL_ARCHIVE -name '*.rar' -mtime +10 -exec rm {} \;
echo "Ten day old local archives removed from disk on `date`" >> $LOG_FILE
...which cleans up the older backup files.
Hope this helps.
Bill
