[luau] Next up, back up

[tom_gordon at notes.k12.hi.us]

oh, tarballing is the process of taking files/directories and balling them 
up in one file (tar) and the compressing them (usually gzip)

this can be all done with a single command to tar.  this is the file you 
normally see when you download source code from the internet (.tar.gz)

> tar also maintains the uid/gid and permission information <

Here.  Read this.  It's quiet colorful.  I got it off google:

I think you're giving my brain too much credit. What is tarballing and 
how does it relate to back ups?
