Here's what we do:
--begin shell script--
#!/bin/ksh
DATE=`/usr/local/bin/date +%Y%m%d`
ORCADIR=<put your orca HTML dir here>
ARCHDIR=<put your archive HTML dir here>
if ! [ -e $ARCHDIR/$DATE ]
then
  mkdir $ARCHDIR/$DATE
fi
cd $ORCADIR
/usr/local/bin/tar cfl - . | (cd $ARCHDIR/$DATE;/usr/local/bin/tar xf -)
--end shell script--

In cron, we have:
59 23 * * * rotate_orca.sh
