I am able to archive all files within a folder and create a resultant = tar file on my hard disk. However, how do I create a tar file which = stores all files in a folder, including sub-folders,=20 For example, how would I create a tar archive for the entire "/usr" = folder, including sub-folders and files - so that restoration of that = archive would restore all files in the /usr folder in their correct = location or sub-folder. Many thanks Phil. ------=_NextPart_000_0050_01C19E70.860FE940 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4616.200" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Hey = "smart-ones-of-FreeBSD"</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I have a question regarding the "tar"=20 command.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I am able to archive all files within a = folder and=20 create a resultant tar file on my hard disk.
