5 bbtar \- generate the names of archive files to be put to tape
7 /usr/spool/bboards/bbtar
10 The \fIbbtar\fR program reads the BBoards database and produces on its
11 standard output the names of BBoards archives which should be put to tape,
12 for direct use in a \fItar\fR\0(1) command.
14 If the argument `private' is given,
15 only private BBoards are considered.
16 If the argument `public' is given,
17 only public BBoards are considered.
18 This lets the BBoards administrator write two tapes,
19 one for general read\-access (the public BBoards),
20 and one for restricted access.
21 The default is all BBoards
27 cd archive # change to the archive directory
28 tar cv `bbtar private` # save all private BBoard archives
32 After the archives have been saved to tape,
33 they are usually removed.
34 The archives are then filled again,
35 usually automatically by cron jobs which run \fIbbexp\fR\0(8).
