How to archive files along with folders using TAR?
Is that script right?
DIRS="/home/folder1 /home/file1.php /home/file2.php" BACKUP=/tmp/backup.$$ FILE="fs-full-$NOW.tar.gz" tar -zcvf $BACKUP/$FILE $DIRS I have to type the /home for each file? Does it keep the folder structure when extracting? In my example it should be after extracted: /home/folder1 /home/file1.php /home/file2.php Thanks a lot.
