[-- Attachment #1 --] hello, I am a 16 year old student, and I am currently setting up a home network. I am trying to set up one of the computers for a backup machine. This machine has a tape drive in it. I was wondering how to use tar to back up entire folders and files to the tape drive. I need to be able to back up one directory that contains numerous other directories containing files, could you please email me with the syntax on how to use tar for this purpose. Thank you Peter Ranger [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hello, </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am a 16 year old student, and I am currently setting up a home network.
