Hello all,

I am trying to run a cronjob to take backup files of a directory every day which I had no trouble doing. What I want to do now is to have it automatically add the current date of when the backup was taken onto the filename. Is this possible? Below is the file that I have created.

-----------------------------------------------
#Execute backup files located in the following directory:
#/usr/home/files
* * * * * tar czvf BKSRC.tar.gz /usr/home/files
