tar a directory












0















#!/bin/bash

current_date=$(date +"%m-%d-%Y")
file="name Backup ($current_date)"
tar -cvzf $file.tgz module8


My output needs to be named "name Backup $current_date"



When I run the script is just names the file "name" not even "name.tgz"



This is what I get for an output



name | 175 kB | 175.0 kB/s | ETA: 00:00:00 | 100%



Backup: No such file or directory



(03-16-2019).tgz: No such file or directory
