I have the following script:
#------------------------ SETTINGS
FOLDER_NAME="$(date '+%Y_%b_%d')"
LOG_PATH=/home/alex/logs/backup-seafile-$FOLDER_NAME.log
DIR_PATH=/mnt/data/Backups/Seafile
FOLDER_PATH=$DIR_PATH/$FOLDER_NAME
echo "--------------------------------------------" >> $LOG_PATH
echo "[$(date '+%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S')] Running Seafile backup" | tee -a $LOG_PATH
echo "[$(date '+%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S')] Deleting old backups..." | tee -a $LOG_PATH
#find $DIR_PATH/* -type d -ctime +7 -print -exec rm -rf {} \; >> $LOG_PATH
echo "[$(date '+%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S')] Stopping seafile..." | tee -a $LOG_PATH
/opt/seafile/seafile-server-latest/seafile.sh stop
/opt/seafile/seafile-server-latest/seahub.sh stop
echo "[$(date '+%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S')] Collecting garbage..." | tee -a $LOG_PATH

mysqldump -h localhost -uUSER -pPASSWORD --opt seahub-db > $FOLDER_PATH/seahub-db.sql
echo "[$(date '+%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S')] Data..." | tee -a $LOG_PATH
rsync -azv --progress /mnt/data/seafile/ $FOLDER_PATH | tee -a $LOG_PATH

echo "[$(date '+%Y %b %d %H:%M:%S')] Backup Complete!" | tee -a $LOG_PATH
I recently noticed that I only ever had one folder and realized it was because all of the backups have the same timestamp of a past date, hence being deleted by the commented out line. I have no idea where its getting this date from or how to change it. Running mkdir normally results in a folder with the correct date. What gives?
