Easy (for you) question:
Would someone who's more experienced with tar mind helping me out with 2
probably routine tar commands? I've read the man page several times, but am
still leary of the ton of options.
Here's what I need:
Logged in as root, sitting in the / dir:
tar and zip up /home/* and /etc/passwd, to /tmp/backup.tar.gz
ftp the tar file to a new box in /tmp,
untar/zip it with all files in-tact, with the same ownership, permissions,
mod times, etc. to their original location of /home and /etc
As if I moved the hard drive holding the volume.
I have bru, and considered using it, but figured tar would be better since
the two boxes don't have compatible tape drives.
TIA,
Scott
