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.

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!
