(tar.info.gz) Backup Parameters

 
 5.4 Setting Parameters for Backups and Restoration
 ==================================================
 
 The file 'backup-specs' specifies backup parameters for the backup and
 restoration scripts provided with 'tar'.  You must edit 'backup-specs'
 to fit your system configuration and schedule before using these
 scripts.
 
    Syntactically, 'backup-specs' is a shell script, containing mainly
 variable assignments.  However, any valid shell construct is allowed in
 this file.  Particularly, you may wish to define functions within that
 script (e.g., see 'RESTORE_BEGIN' below).  For more information about
 shell script syntax, please refer to the definition of the Shell Command
 Language
 (http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#ta
 g_02).  See also  Bash Features (bashref)Top.
 
    The shell variables controlling behavior of 'backup' and 'restore'
 are described in the following subsections.
