Here's the error when I run the script as is:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /backup]# ./backup
: command not found
: No such file or directory
: command not found
./backup: ./backup: line 7: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Here's the script:

BACKUP_DIRECTORY=/backup/tomii
SOURCE_DIRECTORY=/

cd $SOURCE_DIRECTORY

for i in * ; do tar -zcvf "$BACKUP_DIRECTORY/$i.tgz" $i ; done

is it executable?  chmod a+x  scriptname will make it executable by
all
users chmod u+x will only allow the owner to run it.
