Hi Mark,

That's the command I'd like to use to back up the catalog files along
with the database data.  But to get the latest export of data into the
catalog, I need to run something like this first:

[loop list="products userdb etc"]
       [export table="[loop-code]"]
[/loop]

I can set up an IC job in the crontab to run that ITL script right
before the tar command.  Alternatively, a mysqldump command run right
before the tar command would work.
