Group,

I am extremely new to Free BSD and Im sorry for the probably basic =
questions but I need to know.

I am installing some mods to my phpbb message board and I have been told =
to "backup" my stuff before I install these mods incase something should =
go wrong.

I am wondering what the command line would be to accomplish this?

My current webmaster who has been doing the work for me has been =
extremely busy the past few weeks and has no time to help me right now =
so im forced to learn this on my own.

The files he has been creating end in .tar.gz and .bak.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much

Doug
