Never heard of that package and I have slackware 8.0 going on his machine.
It's not in the man pages, is it even part of traditional slackware full

The current wisdom is ram should be at most equal to memory installed and
nothing over. Back in the early days of linux there was one system that
needed twice the ram but that's history and not valid for modern systems

You'd want to do more than one tar command of the form:
tar zcvf user1.tar.gz /home/user1/
tar zcvf user2.tar.gz /home/user2/
and so on. You'd have to specify the path of user1.tar.gz like where it
was going to go and the same for the other archive files too.
