Ack. tar is simply not a backup solution. If you're restricted to
out-of-the-box Unix cli utilities for backup, better cpio than tar - a
cpio archive is recoverable after a damaged section, whereas a tar
archive is generally not. Better yet, afio, which reads and writes
entirely cpio-compatible archives, but with better performance and much
lower CPU load.
I used to have a home-built backup system that relied upon afio at its
core. It was very basic, but it worked, minimally. But I scrapped it
as soon as I became a Bacula early-adopter.
