Weekly overwriting cron script ?

I have to setup a cron scrypt that backups my database and overwrites every week. I once had a mysql script line that writes every day a backup with the name of the database + day (for example myforum_monday) and therefore overwrites every week. Do you know how to do that?

Here it is

Code:

mysqldump --user=xxxxxxx --password=xxxxxxxx --all-databases >/.../`date +%u`.sql

This will do the job for you ;

One of the options in the config is the date format - if you set it such that it's just Monday/Tuesday etc then it will overwrite any existing backup of the same name.

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:23 AM.
