I am very new in bash and never coded in before but this task is stuck so need to get rid of it . I need to make bash script to make a single compressed file with several dirs.

Like -

/home/code/bots/ /var/config/ . . . /var/system/

and all will be compressed to single file /var/file/bkup.[zip][tar.gz]

Thanks in advance
