Hi people, I want to make a script that will b ack up users' home directories. I know how to make a tar ball, but I only want the script to run once every week (I think with a cron job, but don't know how to do this), and I want it to use the name of the directory as the tar ball. So, if I have /home/chris, it will use /backup/chris.tar.tar. I also want it to check the time stamps of each file in the backup directory, and if they are over a month old, delete them. How would I implement this? I don't want the script written for me, just the knowledge to get started, articles, tutorials and stuff. Cheers for that, Chris Norman <!-- chris.norman4@xxxxxxxxxxxx -->
