I forgot the command but if anyone can help, great :D

1) How to tar up public_html ?

2) How to tar up mysql db ?

Thanks :D

tar cf public_html

Go to your root data base (most likely /var/lib/mysql) directory of mysql, and use "tar cf dirname"
dirname is database name.

That command doesnt work, what I got a error say cant archive a empty folder or something

Any ideas?

Oops,

The command is "tar cf dirname.tar dirname"
