compress files



hello fellas. i was looking for a way to compress files (.wav) older than 30 days.

i created a small script to do the job.

 

 

 

#!/bin.bash

FILES=`find . -mtime -30 | xargs`
tar --no-recursion -czf backup_feb_2013.tgz "${FILES}"
rm -rf "${FILES}"

 

 

the compressed files have the following format

g303-20130205-060552-1360037152.419.wav

 

i am stuck on how to edit the script so it will automatically create the month of the backup. Now the naming is manual.

 

any suggestions please?
