Like so:

# cd /network
# tar czf /backup/backup.tar.gz .

Notice the dot (".") a the end of the 2nd line!  That's important 'cos it
refers to the current directory (/network).

Patrick.

  Hello,

  How does one backup all the contents (files, directories etc) of /network
to a file named backup.tar.gz in /backup??

  Thanks, i'm puzzled,

  Marcel
