[-- Attachment #1 --] Hey "smart-ones-of-FreeBSD" I have a question regarding the "tar" command. 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, 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.
