I've been tinkering with backups and backup rotation today and I have
come across many wierd and wonderful backup scripts of varying
complexity.
Is there anything wrong with using something simple like this? (except
of course for the lack of validation).
Basically, let's delete anything over 7 days old and then make a new backup.

#!/bin/bash
find /home/username/backup/*.tar.gz -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;
/bin/tar -cpzf /home/username/backup/`date
+%a"-"%d"-"%b"-"%y"-"`backupfile.tar.gz /var/www
