I agreed GNU-tar is "against the cultural tradition of UNIX" but assume if we need to ftp many directory from one server into another every hours ??
1: maintain the dir
2: reduce the size so that FTP faster
By using GNU-tar it save us a lot of time,i believe.
In my environment we need to sync data between server in different country, this work the best.
