tar jcf filename.tar.bz2 file1 file2...fileN
thanks, Amos, that works good, what the correct way to reconstitute with full path ?
just do tar jcf filename.tar.bz2 folder_name
or tar zcf for gzip
eg
assuming pwd is /var/www/html and the tree you want to copy is /var/www/html/web_folder:
tar -jcf web.bz2 web_folder
this will store the structure from web_folder down. If you want the whole thing from root then from / do
tar -jcf web.bz2 /var/www/html/web_folder
