And there's something wrong with that? Try this:
#!/bin/sh
tar cvzf /shared/backup /home/someuser
Broadly speaking, if you can type it on the command line you can put it in a script.
Or do you want to make per-user backups?
#!/bin/sh
for user
do tar cvzf /shared/backup/$user.tar.gz /home/$user
done
