I have a set of files that are lists of files in my filesystem. I run backups
against these scripts doing something like this...
#!/bin/bash
copy_contents() {
(tar -cpf - "$i" | tar -f - -xpC /tmp/filearchive.1)
}
while read i ; do
if ! [ -d "$i" -a -e "$i" ]; then
copy_contents 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null
fi
done < file_list.1
It works great, but I have several empty directories that are not backed up,
but I would like them to be backed up as files go in them temporarily, but I
have to manually add those empty directories. How can I do the above but
include the empty directories?
