 # folderarchive
 Daily Folder Backup and Rotation for Linux
+
+## Explanation:
+- 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).
