Tar can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update or list files in the archive. Tar includes multivolume support, automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform remote archives, and the ability to perform incremental and full backups. If you want to use tar for remote backups, you also need to install the rmt package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This is an update repairin one fix from https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/tar-1.26-3.fc16 -- #771927 -- file capabilities were restored successfully before but were also cleared by following fchown(2) system call. * storing/restoring of file capabilities in raw format is ok now.
