tar -pczvf web2py/

That way you get web2py and applications folder...

w2p package is just a kind of tar.gz compression...

If you want to be sure you don't lost anything shut down your webserver
(apache, nginx, uwsgi) before making your tar ball. So there is not request
that pop up during the compression process.

Taking web2py at the same time as your app allow you to restore the whole
thing in case things go wrong.

You can also make a tar ball of your single app

tar -pczvf appname/

Hope it helps.
