Subj : Tar backup script

Greetings All!

I am finally getting around to making backups of all my machines and I have a nifty script that does in fact work as I intended..  It could be better tho.. My question is can I set the two backup directories?  So when the backup runs it copies the tar to a backup dir local, but I want it to also copy it to a mounted nfs drive, without running the backup twice if that is possible?

#!/bin/bash 
rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/* 
DATE=$(date +%d-%m-%Y) BACKUP_DIR="/z/backups" #BACKUP_DIR2="/home/fido/backup" #To backup fido's home directory cd /home/fido tar  --exclude="/home/fido/Downloads" --exclude="/home/fido/backup" --exclude="/home/fido/.cache" --exclude="/home/fid>
#tar  --exclude="/home/fido/Downloads" --exclude="/home/fido/backup" --exclude="/home/fido/.cache" --exclude="/home/fi> 
The second tar line that is commented out is the nfs drive I would also like the backup to go to, is there a way I guess to incorporate both destinations in one command line?
