   Greetings All!   
      
   I am finally getting around to making backups of all my machines and I have a   
   nifty script that does in fact work as I intended..  It could be better tho..   
   My question is can I set the two backup directories?  So when the backup runs   
   it copies the tar to a backup dir local, but I want it to also copy it to a   
   mounted nfs drive, without running the backup twice if that is possible?   
      
   #!/bin/bash    
   rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*    
   DATE=$(date +%d-%m-%Y) BACKUP_DIR="/z/backups" #BACKUP_DIR2="/ho   
   e/fido/backup" #To backup fido's home directory cd /home/fido tar    
   --exclude="/home/fido/Downloads" --exclude="/home/fido/backup" -   
   exclude="/home/fido/.cache" --exclude="/home/fid>   
   #tar  --exclude="/home/fido/Downloads" --exclude="/home/fido/backup"   
   --exclude="/home/fido/.cache" --exclude="/home/fi>    
   The second tar line that is commented out is the nfs drive I would also like   
   the backup to go to, is there a way I guess to incorporate both destinations   
   in one command line?
