Thanks for ur response!

I getting the below error message when i try to run the above,

rm: cannot remove 'Oct_bkp_files': Is a directory

When I run second time the already zipped folders should not get zipped again.

if [ -f *.* ]; - I am using this file exists checking if statement. how to enable this only for the current directory and not for its subdirectories?

Thanks!
