Script for tar and zip based on month & year
Hi Friends,

I'm doing on script which finds all the files with time stamp and makes them tar and zip, based on their respective month&year. for instance "mar-2004.tar.zip" will contain all the files which was created/accessed/modified on mar-2004. like this the entire filesystem should be taken for backup. please help me doing this. scripts from ksh or perl are most welcome.

Thankx in advance

Tuxfello, why don't you show us where you've gotten so far? And if you haven't started, do so.

Your problem is basically a 'find files on basis of mtime and act on them' kind of problem. Do a search on the site for using find (infact you'll find info on that in the FAQs).
