- - backup function (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/backup-function-660229/)

Im trying to use the backup function and this is what i get.

Code:

Directory /usr/etc/backup is not found.

The following directories and files are needed for the backup to function:



1. Directory with configuration files and file lists:

/usr/etc/backup

2. Directory for backup log files

/usr/etc/backup/log

3. Main configuration file

/usr/etc/backup/backup-specs



Please, create these and invoke the script again.

What does it mean create them and if i do what do i put in them?Or do i have to install them?

This "backup" function is not a function, it's a script that likely is specific to your distribution since, as a Slackware/SlamD64 user, I've never heard of it. You should check the man pages or other documentation that came with your distribution about it.
