### The script sets the source directory (SOURCE_DIR) that will be zipped and the archive directory (ARCHIVE_DIR) where the zipped files will be stored.
### It creates a timestamp in the format YYYY-MM-DD and stores it in the DATE variable.
### The zip command is used to create the zipped archive and append the date to the file name.
### The find command is used to delete files older than 14 days in the archive directory.
### The cron entry schedules the script to run daily at 13:00 (1 PM).
