Tom, I have an example of a crontab entry and backup.sh that does that. It
backs up, zips the resulting backup file, adds the date to the name, and
then moves it to another windows pc using smb. I will send it to you
tomorrow.

Thanks Salim, but just using cron does not solve the problem. I guess I'm
really looking for a smart "backup.sh" that will handle the naming of the
backup file depending on whether it's doing a daily, weekly or monthly
backup. I do agree that cron is the obvious choice for running the script.
