.............................
#!/bin/sh
# backup  /etc  /root  /boot  /usr/local
#
exec tar czvf  /bup/etc`date 
+%y%m%d`.tar.gz   /etc  /root  /boot /usr/local
...........................................
#!/bin/sh
# backup  /home
#
exec tar czvf  /bup/home`date +%y%m%d`.tar.gz   /home
......................................
#!/bin/sh
# backup  /var
#
exec tar czvf  /bup/var`date
