Question

I\'d rather not do this in PHP so I\'m hoping a someone decent at shell scripting can help.

I need a script that runs through directory recursively and finds all fil

Answer 1

I would simply do the following to backup all new files from 7 days ago

tar --newer $(date -d'7 days ago' +"%d-%b") -zcf thisweek.tgz .

note you can also replace '7 days ago' with anything that suits your need

Can be : date -d'yesterday' +"%d-%b"

Or even : date -d'first Sunday last month' +"%d-%b"
