I'd like to make a .tar
file of a particular directory every day of the week. The way I'd like to do it is with a bash script making a tar file every day with crontab.
I was wondering, is there a way to regulate the name of the tar file the the bash script makes? Right now it's the same every time the file is made, becase the bash has just one command:tar -cvf file.tar /home/name/folder/
But I'd like for it to be slightly differnt based on the day e.g. FileTus.tar
, FileWed.tar
, FileFri.tar
,etc..
Is there a way to do this though terminal commands?
Thanks
