Something our Unix admins tend to do is move the files along different
directories.
E.g. they start in dir1; after succesfull backup, move them to dir2, etc.
and after succesfull backup in dir4 delete them.
So they should always get backed up 4 times even if you miss a run.
Of course your backup needs to start in dir4 and work back to dir1 for
obvious reasons.

Subject: unix question
I want to store some files. I make a new copy every night. I want to
archive it back 4 days. So after 4 days, I want to delete the old copy.
How do I do this?
However, if i miss a nightly batch and have less than 4 copies, I do not
want to delete any?
