As for reviewing plugins here on the BP, I prefer plugins to be less restrictive. Many readers have a small blog (less than 100MB, pictures inclusive) but several GB of web space for $60/year or less. I do not want to force costs upon our readers, especially not because I just told them how to do it for free. Don’t get me wrong, I will gladly update the entry and mention the plugin, evt. even write a full post, but for me to consider doing so it needs to offer more basic features IMO.

But the problem is with Weekly Database Backup. Using following command: <code> mysqldump -udbusername -pdbpassword db_name | gzip > /home/cpanelusername/yourfolder/mysql-$(date +%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S).gz </code> But If I am changing it to: <code>mysqldump -udbusername -pdbpassword db_name | gzip > /home/cpanelusername/yourfolder/mysql-$(date).gz</code> The command executes properly without any error. The file name is becoming some thing like: <code>mysql-Fri Jan 8 06:57:01 EST 2010.gz</code> But I want it like <code>mysql-YYYY-MM-DD.gz</code> format. Thanks for the reply.
