You are absolutely right the details or the reference is missing in date command’s manual.

format of date command is:
date [-nu] [-r seconds] [+format]

the details of +%u and all of the other formats which you can use in your scripts can be seen in “man strftime”

hope this helps.

Actually, if you use this and your remote machine is compromised, all your backups are gone. Every backup should be done from your local machine and never the other way around.
