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