tar zcvf sites.tar.gz /home/sites
ftp the resultant file to the RaQ2, then from the / directory:
tar zxvf sites.tar.gz
The 'tar' command makes a gzip compressed tarball on your disk. It's a
standard UNIX tool. Do 'man tar' to find out more about it and what those
options (zcvf and zxvf) do. It stores the permissions of the file when it
creates the archive. IIRC, it will preserve symbolic links too.
