I'm trying to backup Wordpress files and database with a shell script. I found one online that works great and am trying to work it a bit to provide more notices and progress info as well as work on some problems I'm having.

"tar: Removing leading `/' from member names"
Does anyone know what this means, and what I can do about it? This is run in a shared hosting environment if that helps.
Also, I'm sort of new to shell scripting but how can I add some kind of progress notice after each step, or a blinking ellipsis to designate that there is an ongoing process taking place. And one other thing... would there be a good way to secure the DB credentials so they aren't just out in the open? Also, how could I set this to cycle the files every month or set time period... like 30 days?
I'm having an issue with a problem
