Simple Backup Script

[weldonj]

This should be simple but at 3 am I'm having trouble.

I just want a backup script that will backup my copy of homepage.php and name it homepageMMDDYY.php

I thought it was this but it doesn't seem to be working.

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks:

#! /bin/bash

currdate=`date +%y%m%d`
cp /www/homepage.php /www/homepage.$currdate.php

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, weldonj.

cp /www/homepage.php /www/homepage$(date '+%m%d%y').php
