What command or commands would I use to tar and gzip a directory structure. I want to make a backup copy of my complete plesk directory structure.

TIA

Assuming your plesk directory is named plesk/, to create the archive you would do:

tar -cvf pleskbackup.tar plesk/

If you wanted to create a compressed archive:

tar -czvf pleskbackup.tar.gz plesk/

You could call the backup file any name you want.

Merci Beaucoupe, mon ami!

Joyeux Noël et Bonne Année!
