You could always create a script that would append the date to the file name, something like.
#!/bin/ksh (where ever ksh is located)
FILENAME=dir.tar.`date +%m%d%Y`.gz
tar c dir/ | gzip > $FILENAME
I don't know much about gzip, so I can't tell you whether the syntax is right. I would set up one cron jobs to run daily using the script above so each job would have a different name. Then maybe also run a cleanup jobs that would find files older than 7 days and delete them.
