In this script we have combined the two curl commands via an && that way the second command will only run if the first succeeds.
The use of date in the filename will append the day of the month to the filename this will mean that a new backup will be created for every day of the month and overwrite them next month, obviously if the next month has fewer days you may be left with a couple of backups from last month. This process can be enhanced or changed as required.

{{Warning box|There are a couple of security consideration that you should consider when using curl.
Firstly, the cookie jar ~/.sme_cookies should not be made world readable otherwise others could use your downloaded cookies.
Secondly, your SME Server username and password will appear on the ps listing momentarily this can be avoided by placing the password in a file and using -F password="<your_password_file" if required.}}
