Hi everybody! I am trying to back up some files (documents, pics) with tar. Using the following command I encountered two problems: 1- Why is the resulting tar file actually larger than the files themselves? (-z doesn't help much either) 2- Why despite using mtime or even ctime with find I still see almost(?) all files being included in the tar file?
find /home/ -ctime -1 -print0 | xargs -0 tar -cvvzf mybackup.tar.gz Any help appreciated Ned tar (GNU tar) 1.16 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/backup-with-tar%2C-find-tf3541150.html#a9885166 Sent from the Gnu - Tar - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Help-tar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-tar
