I am trying to make a script to backup each of my plesk hosts to individual files, I am having two problems:

1. I would like to remove the folder structure from archive, the tar is 3 folders deep
2. I am getting this error: tar: Removing leading `/' from member names

The code:

FILES=/var/www/vhosts/*
FNAME=""
for f in $FILES
do
FNAME=`basename $f`
tar cfv "/root/backup/ftp/$FNAME.tar" $f
done

Sample output:

tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/
/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/conf
/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/etc/
