I've got ever growing databases that are just getting massive. I've already written a program (out of odd entertainment) that creates backups of the databases. It also manages the files to only keep a certain amount around in the directory. Anyways, I'm missing one KEY piece. How do I compress them? Naturally its got something to do with 'tar -c --file=file.tar file', but when I run that it does 'tar' the file, but does not compress the file one bit. Ideas? ~ Matthew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
