Subject: Re: [newbie] tar command ?
Personally, after I have tar'd the files, I
prefer to compress the tar with the -H option. This gives a 20% better
compression.
compress -H thetarfile.tar

tar zcvf thetarfile.tgz [insert your
/var/named files here]
the z in the option means that the files are to be compressed using gzip.
you can omit it like
tar cvf thetarfile.tar [insert your /var/named files here]
and you will have one tar file containing all the specified files but no
compression. fyi, the extension is not necessary. its just there as a
convention in making humans be able to interpret a files function more
easily.
ciao!
