Is there any way that I can, say, tar the files and save them with a different file name each day, then delete the oldest one after, say, a week or so?

Thanks so much for this script, I have a serveral web servers whose htdocs are finally safe.

I have a real few real estate sites with hundreds of thousands of images that I don’t need to back up, they come from the MLS depot every night. So, I tried excluding an entire directory, to my surporse, it works great, thought I would share.
--exclude '/unwanted_directory/'

Thanks again,

Matt

Hello,

Does using rsync to back up Linux/Unix allow open files backup?
