[luau] Back up script (was Nextup, back up)

[tom_gordon at notes.k12.hi.us]

well a quick "man tar" and we get a bunch a stuff and finally...

"directory1 [ directory2, ...directoryN ]"

so spaces between the directories should suit you fine.

also, one thing i haven't mentioned that is worth mentioning is the 
permissions of the backups

you way wish to have the set in the script also depending on who you want 
to access the files.

Tom

Aloha,

I've a question regarding the backup script.

I have multiple directories I'd like to backup. What is the correct 
way to specify them? 
I'm trying:
DIRECTORIES="/var/webcalng /var/www /var/configfiles"

in hope it will backup the three directories;  /var/webcalng, 
/var/www, and /var/configfiles.

Is this the correct way to handle it?

Mahalo!
