Hello all,
When you tar a file (i.e. a backup) to a destination disk, does tar build
the file on the destination disk, or does it create it in a tmp file,
memory, etc then move it to the final destination? I have to think it
builds it in the destination location, but want to make sure.
Thanks

unp doesn't do proper character escaping, though. So, never do things
like "unp *.tar.bz2" on files that come from an external source, as
I fear that this may execute arbitrary code on
So it looks like the ultimate solution is Greg Folkert's suggestion to

Thanks for your replies, everyone. It seems to me that there might be a
market for a simple script frontend to tar that would handle shell-expanded
wildcards; perhaps it could be included in Debian's package of tar. Would
that be a good idea? Does anything like that already exist?

Interesting. I wonder whether it tried to tar that

a completely full disc.
