Looks like you smooshed two lines together. Try inserting a linefeed
between "${BACKFILE}" and "if".<br>
<br>
The "e" gzip is complaining about is in "-ne".
Without looking at the man page for gzip, I'm betting that -n is a legitimate
option for gzip. <br>
<br>
Nice to know I'm not the only one with fat fingers. ;-)<br>
