BackupPC_tarCreate will give you a tar archive on stdout. If you want it compressed, you have to pipe through gzip. If you want that saved to a file you have to supply the shell redirection at the end of the pipleline and an appropriate path/filename. But basically you can do anything you want in the shell command line. -- Les Mikesell lesmkes...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
