How would I compress/archive a set of folders into one file? I mean, what I'd like to do is archive the COMPLETE contents of my /var/www folder (including all folders, subfolders, users/groups, read/write access etc) so that I can copy the file to another machine for backing up to tape with my other stuff.
I have been using Samba to map to the folder, but when I copy stuff over to my Win2K backup machine, if something crashes on the Linux box and I have to copy stuff back, I'm having to reset user/groups and their permissions to the folders and files. I want a file that I can copy back to the Linux box, un-archive (with paths) so that everything is back to normal in a minimum amount of time. I used to do stuff like this with the DOS version of PkZip many moons ago. Thanks!
