- DESCRIPTION
- Backup (recursively) backs up the contents of a given directory and its
- subdirectories to another part of the file system. It has two typical
- uses. First, some portion of the file system can be backed up onto 1 or
- more diskettes. When a diskette fills up, the user is prompted for a new
- one. The backups are in the form of mountable file systems. Second, a
- directory on RAM disk can be backed up onto hard disk. If the target
- directory is empty, the entire source directory is copied there,
- optionally compressed to save space. If the target directory is an old
- backup, only those files in the target directory that are older than
- similar names in the source directory are replaced. Backup uses times
- for this purpose, like make. Calling Backup as Restore is equivalent to
- using the -r option; this replaces newer files in the target directory
- with older files from the source directory, uncompressing them if

- necessary. The target directory contents are thus returned to some
- previous state.
