Dear all,

How to use tar command to backup few directories with one command line...

I did tried to use the following to backup,

tar cvbf 20 /dev/st0 ./home
tar cvbf 20 /dev/st0 ./var
tar cvbf 20 /dev/st0 ./etc

but when I tried to restore the tape with

tar xvbf 20 /dev/st0

I only got the last backup for /etc

I also do tried as below to backup...

tar cvbf 20 /dev/nst0 ./home
tar cvbf 20 /dev/nst0 ./var
tar cvbf 20 /dev/st0 ./etc

but also get the same thing?

anyone know about this, please help to advise...

My main purpose is just to backup those 3 directories and make sure the
backup and restore work properly...

many thanks.....

best rdgs,
gary
