Could you elaborate on my omission of the 'files/directories' and is the
use of '/' for the top
directory wrong?
Assuming that "super2" is a computer that was backed up to backup #169,
that /etc /root /home and /var were backed up, that my backup files are
on localhost and I wish to create a tar file for backup #169 to be
transferred manually to "super2" then what is wrong with the code string:
./BackupPC_tarCreate -n 169 -h super2 -s /> /tar/target.tar
