#!/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
