Please : Script Backup Problem
I have script but not work..
=====================================
#!/bin/bash
# backup

Backup_Dirs="/home/test"
Backup_Dest_Dir=/tmp
Backup_Date=`date +%b%d%y`

#Create Backup
tar cvzf $Backup_Date.tar.gz $Backup_Dirs $Backup_Dest_Dir
======================================

What's wrong with script???

Hi, it's not easy to know but since You have descriptive variable names, I could guess that You expect the backup file to end up in /tmp?
First, look in Your current working directory, it may already be there.
Otherwise, You could try to change Your tar command to say:

Code:
tar cvzf $Backup_Dest_Dir/$Backup_Date.tar.gz $Backup_Dirs

Best regards,
