I tried to implement the scripted backup, as documented in the Info TAR,
and I cannot get to work properly.
In the Backup variable BACKUP_DIRS, I have two directories: /etc and
/home/myself/practice. In the Backup variable BACKUP_FILES I also
mentionned two files, say file01 abd file02.
Executing the command backup, I finally got a successful completion,
that is RC0 for the backup of the two directories, and of the
Miscellaneous Files. But it seems that every successive sub-routine
overwrites the previous one. The end result is that my BACKUP_FILE only
includes the files of the Miscellaneous only.
Should not the Tar operation be --append instead of --create ?
I am newbie with Linux, and I am not an IT person. So I hoped the above
clearly show my problem.
