I've got a client that just "introduced" me to his RH8 linux server - nicely done, very simple, but the orginal "admin" had setup a backup script that backed up stuff weekley TO THE HARD DRIVE - until they had no hard drive space at all (gee, Ralph, that was smart, eh?)
Anyways, what I'd like to do is to create a backup to CDRW weekly, and keep four weeks worth of backups on the drive - NOTHING MORE. Previously I've done a very simple script for other customers, but nothing that required "date" or keeping redundant copies and deleting what would be the "fifth" week so that only four are on the HD, one on the CD... (sniffles, gives puppy dog look) I'm not a coder, I build boxes, administer boxes and setup networks...and I'm far from being a bash script master...laugh...yeah...that's cool...but I do need to figure this out as I've tried and well, it keeps screwing me up...
