Hey, you bright guys out there...

I am writing a short backup script with the output being *.tar.gz.

I have read in the man pages that concatenating the files before passing
thru gzip improves the compression. I have tried cat, however, it seems to
only concatenate files, not directories. If I have a directory called
backup/, how do I cat all the sub-directories and files inside it prior to
passing thru gzip?

If anyone knows an easier way to compress files, pls let me know:-)

Regards,

georgen
