There's a piece of code out there that automatically does this every time a player logs off. However, here's the script I use for backing DR up nightly. You'll have to modify it quite a bit to get it to work, but at least you can see one way of doing it. As far as doing just the player files, why create a script for a simple three command piece of work? cp -r -f /path/to/player/directory /path/to/temp/directory cd /path/to/temp/directory tar zcvf players.tgz *
