I apologize for the bad title and description. I have updated the title and description.

I would like find and delete old backup files in aix. How would I go about doing this? For example:

server1_1-20-2020
server1_1-21-2020
server1_1-22-2020
server1_1-23-2020
server2_1-20-2020...

This part makes sense. Some users know what they are doing and some don't.

Why unlimited as value is not a good idea unless you know what you are doing AND what the others do:

I am trying to run an awk command inside of ssh and it is not working. These are AIX servers.

>sed 's/[,.!?] */&\n/g' /tmp/ports
1, n2, n3, n4
>sed 's/[,.!?] */\n/g' /tmp/ports

sed 's/[,.!?] */&\n/g' /tmp/ports
sed 's/[,.!?] */\n/g' /tmp/ports

How good is the compression rate of gzip when you use tar with the gzip option? I am pretty amazed that a 1 GB file was reduced to 1019K. This is what I did.
