No it isn't ;). I did read it.

This was a Wald'n'Bäume situation. Even if I would have add a .bz2, I
would have missed it, since on Linux I .tar.bz backups and it's more
automated to extract a .tar.foo. However, I should add .bz2 in the future.

No /bin/bash,

# ls /usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/bash

I run "bash file" instead of "sh file", IIRC I already had an issue when  
writing a script and running "sh file".

I use it, since I use it on Linux too, another shell might cause issues,  
if I continue writing this script or if I should write another script.  
Btw. I was an Assembler coder in the 80s and don't have much knowledge how  
to write shell scripts, if I need something I search for it. I'm using  
*NIX as OS for audio productions and for the Internet, I'm not interested  
in programming anymore, I only do what's needed, *NIX OS are a tool for  
me. Philosophy about POSIX isn't a religion for me.

I thought /bin/sh is a link to another shell.
