- The \fIbbtar\fR program reads the BBoards database and produces on its
- standard output the names of BBoards archives which should be put to tape,
- for direct use in a \fItar\fR\0(1) command.
-
- If the argument `private' is given,
- only private BBoards are considered.
- If the argument `public' is given,
- only public BBoards are considered.
- This lets the BBoards administrator write two tapes,
- one for general read\-access (the public BBoards),
- and one for restricted access.
- The default is all BBoards
-
- For example:
-
- .nf
- .in +.5i
- cd archive # change to the archive directory
- tar cv `bbtar private` # save all private BBoard archives
- .in -.5i
- .fi
-
- After the archives have been saved to tape,
- they are usually removed.
- The archives are then filled again,
- usually automatically by cron jobs which run \fIbbexp\fR\0(8).
