Default Creating a backup script
In creating a backup script I realized I don't know how to tar recursively - what is the command for that?

Default how to backup using tar
Well
you have to visit the man page

the command tar will group the files in one file recursively

so

#tar -cvzf filename.tar /home/shuaib

filename.tar is the created file and has the data

/home/shuaib is the targeted files in other words the files you want to backup
