cd /user/backups; ls -1 /oldb2/home/virtual/ | grep site | grep -v '-' | while read i; do bkdir=/oldb2/home/virtual/$i; echo $i; echo $bkdir; tar -cf $i-www.tar $bkdir/fst/var/www; echo "Gunzip $i"; gzip $i-www.tar; ls -l $i-www.tar.gz; done

This programming one liner allows you to backup directories. First it makes a tarball of a directory and then uses gzip to compress the tarballs.
