shell scripts



can you guys look at my shell scripts i made?  i am having problems 
backing up my computer (full) and with my usb drive.  what is happening 
is that the drive only has 175mgs of information, yet when it tries to 
TAR the information it just keeps going and going and going.  i started 
it before i left for school and when i got back it was 45gigs.  i don't 
believe there are any files on that drive that are linked, but i thought 
TAR only backed up the link and not everything past it (dereferenced 
it).  i know the command for that is '-h' or '--dereference.'

the other thing i'm trying to do is make my RAR folder owned by root 
(+rwx) and group'd by wheel (+r-w+x).  i stuck a file link in /bin/ for 
access system wide.  now last time (few times i format a lot) i did 
this, it has alwasy worked fine.  but now it won't let me.

i am using FC3 now.  i'm trying to TAR everything for backups.  here is 
the info.

#!/bin/bash
#backup of system information, backup-000
tar -cf /1435/archive/`date +'%Y_%m%d'`-fc4backup.tar -pP 
--label="Fedora Core 4 Full Backup" --exclude=mnt --exclude=proc 
--exclude=var/spool/squid --exclude=1435 --exclude=*.iso --exclude=*.rpm 
--exclude=usr/local/games --exclude=cache / /.*
gzip -9 /1435/archive/*.tar

#!/bin/bash
#backup of my personal files for college; backup-001
tar -cf /1435/archive/`date +'%Y_%m%d'`-the.hole.tar -pP --label="SEMo_U 
Full Backup" --exclude=cache /1435/the.hole/
tar -cf /1435/archive/`date +'%Y_%m%d'`-the.hole.tar -pP --label="SEMo_U 
Full Backup" --exclude=cache /1435/the.hole/.*
gzip -9 /1435/archive/*.tar

#!/bin/bash
