Just thought I would share this bit of code;
print "Content-type: text/html \n\n";
print "System: $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'}";
chdir('/full/path/to/folder');
system("tar -cvvf backup.tar ./");
print "DONE!";
Basically, this will create a backup.tar file for you, which holds the contents of the above folder (permissions should be kept too).
The sole reason for writing this script, was due to the fact that I needed a simple script to backup a clients site; and then get it ready for a transfer to another server (the old server didn't have SSH, but the new one does).
Anyway... for anyone who finds this post useful... enjoy =)
Cheers
