just got to the directory where the file you want to modify is and do a
cp -p originalfilename originalfilename.orig or something like this.. that
will do the thing...

Betreff: Backing up files


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
