Misty is right on the tar usage:

tar -c (create) v (verbose, no need for this) z (gzip compression, use j for bzip2) f (file name) [file name] [directory to be tarballed]

So: tar -czf 2004-12-08-my_stuff_backup.tar.gz my_stuff

If you want to find out more about tar or anything else: man tar

Also, use /bin/bash. Grin
