                     12: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     13: The \fIbbtar\fR program reads the BBoards database and produces on its
                     14: standard output the names of BBoards archives which should be put to tape,
                     15: for direct use in a \fItar\fR\0(1) command.
                     16: 
                     17: If the argument `private' is given,
                     18: only private BBoards are considered.
                     19: If the argument `public' is given,
                     20: only public BBoards are considered.
                     21: This lets the BBoards administrator write two tapes,
                     22: one for general read\-access (the public BBoards),
                     23: and one for restricted access.
                     24: The default is all BBoards
                     25: 
                     26: For example:
                     27: 
                     28: .nf
                     29: .in +.5i
                     30: cd archive             # change to the archive directory
                     31: tar cv `bbtar private`         # save all private BBoard archives
                     32: .in -.5i
                     33: .fi
                     34: 
                     35: After the archives have been saved to tape,
                     36: they are usually removed.
                     37: The archives are then filled again,
                     38: usually automatically by cron jobs which run \fIbbexp\fR\0(8).
