I do regular backups of a subtree into some tarballs on another volume. The tarballs are named including the date (e.g. bup-19991205.tar.bz2). Those files accumulate over a period of several days, then get written out to tape. After that, I want to delete backup tarballs older than, say, one week. Looking for an option in find, I went up blank. (Yes, you may specify files older than another given file, but that=B4s not what is needed here. I want to create a script automating the process, leaving a couple of newer tarballs online.) Any ideas really appreciated -Christoph Sold --- P.S: Pls reply to the Reply-To address above (cs@cheasy.de), since the account I am writing this on has only a fake MX.
