Here am not aware of your shell that you are using ..
Here's sample that am using on 1 of my server ...

Code:

 
#!/bin/bash
########################################
Targetpath=/usr/Backup
if [ ! -d $Target-path ]
then
    mkdir -p $Targetpath
fi
####################################### Files to be backuped
a="/etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/shadow"
#######################################
create=`date +%a-%d-%b-%Y-AT:%H:%M`
########################################
for ln in `echo $a`
do
   lnn=`echo $ln | sed  "s/,//g"`
    if [ ! -e $lnn ]
    then
          echo "$lnn file not EXIST"
    fi
    lst=` echo $lnn | awk -F"/" '{print $NF}'`
    tar -jcf $Targetpath/$lst-$create.bz2 $lnn
done

Code:

 
[root@TESTLAB ~]# date
Sat Feb 11 11:54:02 IST 2012
[root@TESTLAB ~]# ls -lrt /usr/Backup/
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 500 Feb 11 11:47 shadow-Sat-11-Feb-2012-AT:11:47.bz2

BBACKUPD-CONFIG(8)						    Box Backup							BBACKUPD-CONFIG(8)

NAME

       bbackupd-config - Box Backup client daemon configuration file generator

SYNOPSIS

       bbackupd-config config-dir backup-mode account-num server-hostname working-dir backup-dir [backup-dir ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The bbackupd-config script creates configuration files and client certificates. It takes at least six parameters:

       config-dir
	   Configuration directory. Usually /etc/box.

       backup-mode
	   Either lazy or snapshot.

       account-num
	   The client account number. This is set by the bbstored administrator.

       server-hostname
	   The hostname or IP address of the bbstored server.

       working-dir
	   A directory to keep temporary state files. This is usually something like /var/bbackupd. This can be changed in bbackupd.conf later on
	   if required.

       backup-dir
	   A space-separated list of directories to be backed up. Note that this does not traverse mount points.

FILES

       /etc/box/bbackupd.conf

       /etc/box/bbackupd/NotifySysAdmin.sh
