Hi
Iam writing a solaris script to perform the hotbackup.This script will
behave like this:

1.It will create a appropriate directory in the name of the current
hotbackup date.
i.e. if the hotbackup is happening tonight at 10:30pm,the the
directory name will be, "28-04-07+10:30".

2.Inside this directory all the files will be copied.

3.After three daily backup and after fourth day backup the script has to
delete the older one directory automatically and have to keep the other
three directories present.
i.e: If the first hot backup starts on Monday,the folder name will
be, "30-04-07+10:30" , the second backup will be
"01-05-2007+10:30",third will be "02-04-2005+10:30" and after the
creation of the fourth day backup "03-05-2007+ 10:30",the script have to
automatically delete the old one that is "30-04-07+10:30" backup.
This is the concept of the script.

I have achieved the 1st and 2nd step as well,but idont know how to proceed
with the 3rd step.
Since, iam not good in sripting, Can anyone help me by providing the solaris
script.

OS: Solaris 9 (bash-3.00$ shell),DB: 9.2.0.6.0

Thanks
