Feedback on BASH backup script

[Guiri]

Run nightly with crontab:

0 0 * * * /bin/bash /home/ubuntu/scripts/node_backup.sh >/dev/null 2>&1

#!/bin/bash

# Delete backups older than 3 days
three_days=$(date +'%m-%d-%y' -d '3 days ago')
if [ -e "/home/ubuntu/dump.$three_days.rdb" ]; then
    rm "/home/ubuntu/dump.$three_days.rdb"
else
    echo "No dump.rdb older than 3-days found!"
fi

if [ -e "/home/ubuntu/nodebb_assets_$three_days.tar.gz" ]; then
    rm "/home/ubuntu/nodebb_assets_$three_days.tar.gz"
    echo "Removing nodebb_assets older than 3-days!"
else
    echo "nodebb_assets.tar.gz older than 3-days not found!"
fi

# Backup NodeBB assets
cd /home/ubuntu/Node/public || exit 1
tar -czf /home/ubuntu/nodebb_assets_"$(date +'%m-%d-%y')".tar.gz ./uploads

# Backup Redis DB
cp /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb /home/ubuntu/dump."$(date +'%m-%d-%y')".rdb

Thanks for the write-up @Guiri, always nice to read about other peoples' implementations.

Has anyone investigated the use of logrotate for rotating backups?
