I am not sure this makes sense. Backing up the files into a single fbackup
file would, it seems, make for an extra step with no advantages. Fbackup
doesn't compress so the backup file would be the size of the original files.
So why not create a subdirectory in /backup for the files and then just copy
them with cpio which has the ability to recreate the structure or just use
the cp(1) command if there is no subdirectory structure? Then just back them
up from there with your tar. The advantage is that it is easier to recover a
single file.
The advantages of fbackup over other utilities are mostly lost when you
backup to the disk.
