Jason,

I have a snapshot-generating script called "snap." It's attached. There 
is usage output via the "--help" argument and a little header 
commentary in the script itself.

% snap --help
# snap: Usage
#   -c          Run target directory's "clean" program, if any
#   -D <dir>    Place snapshot file in specified <dir>
#   -f          Force overwrite of existing snapshot file
#   -q          Operate quietly (only error messages)
#   -v          Operate verbosely (list files placed in snapshot)
#   -nv         Operate non-verbosely (only action summary output)
#   -j          Use Bzip2 compression
#   -z          Use Gzip compression
#   -w          Create Zip (a.k.a. WinZip) archive
#   -u          Use no compression
#   -m          Include minute in snapshot file name timestamp
#   -h          Include hour in snapshot file name timestamp
#   -d          Include day in snapshot file name timestamp
#   -t          Include no timestamp in snapshot file name'
#   --help      Print this usage summary
