Take a look at the back2cd script on this page. One of the guys
at my LUG wrote it. I've been using it for a few months now for
the same type of things you're talking about. The only catch is
it's written in the c shell and it uses bzip2 for compression so
make sure you have those installed. You may also have to adjust
the path to the c shell on line 1 (He wrote it on redhat and I
think their path to the c shell is different.
HTH,
