Juli 2004 18:52 An: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org 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 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
