It is really important to know where you are in linux/unix as things can easily get deleted or overwritten or cut from important places. Also there is a short cut to gunzip site.tar.gz tar xvf site.tar gunzip database.tar.gz tar xvf database.tar its by using the letter 'z' so its becomes tar zxvf . This will unzip and then untar all at the same time. SO u will save two lines from being typed. Another Important thing you should always remember is to create a md5 hash of the archive so after u copy the backup to the new site you run a md5 there as well and compare with the original. This makes sure that things are properly copied and the integrity status put. you can do this by md5 filename > backup-name.md5 This will create a .md5 containing the hash of your targzip file.
