I'm trying to create a backup script in bash, to tar the contents of a folder and move the resulting file somewhere, but I don't really know how to do it.
#!/bin/bash
name="$date +"%y-%m-%d""
tar -zcvf $name code
But the result is that the file is just named +%y-%m-%d
. How can I change the script to name the file by the date as intended?
Intended output: 2013-08-29.tar
