Please help me to write the script

Hi All,

I have written the follwing script to take the backup of the file every day
along with the date.

Code:
DATE=`date +%Y%m%d`

export DATE

cp var/hr/hr333m.txt cp var/hr/payments/hr333m_$DATE.txt

The file name as follows after taking the backup.

hr333m_20110630.txt

Could you please help me to remove the backup file,if it is 7 days old compared to the server date.

Thanks in advance.
