Subject: Backup VPS before cancelling account
Hi,

I have a VPS that I no loger want to use, however I would like to backup the the config files... ETC

I was looking at wget and tar.

Can I just tar and compress everything by doing something like:

tar -czvf vps_name.tgz /  Then just sftp or wget to get it to my local drive?


Thanks!!
