How can i automatically backup a folder and zip it?

some one have a shell script for that?

Thank you a lot for any help!

For scheduling you can use cron daemon.
For more information about cron try "man crontab" command.

For backup you will need to know how to work with: cp, tar, date and mv command. More information about the commands also try use the "man name_of_command".

For some shell tutorial try www.google.com.
