Yes, you can. There was just an entire thread on this, initiated by me, only about a week ago, to which many knowledgable people kindly responded in detail. Yes, it can be done, but when you create the tar.gz files make sure to use the -P option to make the directories absolute. To get the whole thread, you should go to the archives and do a search on "backup" and "tar."
