    now see, the interesting thing is that TAR does not have the same 
problem, but RAR does.  however, using RAR (even after TAR'ing), i can 
put the whole backup on one CD-ROM (660mgs about).  With BZIP2 its more 
like 989mgs after compression.  Before compression it is like 2.3gigs or so.
    here is my rar.personal script (i'm not looking for corrections 
unless someone just wants to, but i'm just sharing what i've been learning):

    * #!/bin/sh
      /portney/personal/programs/rar/./rar a -ag-yyyy_mmdd -m5 -ol -ow
      -r -s /media/BNTLY_RHDS/bntly_rhds.rar /portney/personal/
      chown -R bntly_rhds /media/BNTLY_RHDS/
      chgrp -R wheel /media/BNTLY_RHDS/
      chmod -R u+rwx,g+r-w+x, o+r-wx /media/BNTLY_RHDS/

   And my TAR.all script.  i'm thinking about switching the 'rar' 
command to something else, like making seperate files for each 'tar' 
file.  I don't think i can do that in the commands or switches, but i'm 
still reading up on it.  Using the -se switch instead of the -s switch 
gave me a lower compression ratio, so i ended up with something like 
725mgs instead of 660 or so mgs.  i'm using solid archiving too.

    * #!/bin/sh
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/bin.tar /bin/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/boot.tar /boot/
      ### mkdir /dev
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/etc.tar /etc/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/home.tar /home/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/initrd.tar /initrd/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/lib.tar /lib/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/misc.tar /misc/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/opt.tar /opt/
      ### mkdir /proc
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/root.tar /root/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/sbin.tar /sbin/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/selinux.tar /selinux/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/srv.tar /srv/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/sys.tar /sys/
      ### mkdir /tmp
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/usr.tar /usr/
      tar cvpf /portney/backup/var.tar /var/
      ###rm -fv /portney/backup/*.tar.bz2
      ###bzip2 -9vz /portney/backup/*.tar
      /portney/personal/programs/rar/./rar a -ag-yyyy_mmdd-tar -df
      -ilog/portney/backup/rar_errors.log -m5 -ol -ow -r -s
      /portney/backup/backup.rar /portney/backup/
      chown -R bntly_rhds /portney/backup/
      chgrp -R bntly_rhds /portney/backup/
      chmod -R u+rwx,g+r-w+x, o+r-wx /portney/backup/

When the date switch is used (-ag-yyyy_mmdd-tar) 'rar' turned the 'a' in 
'tar' into a '5.' 
i can type in what all the switches mean if someone wants to know.
