you can use the -u option which will update the existing archive and add new contents to it if doesn't exists.
Tks for your advice. I made following test to update a compressed backup tarball;
# tar jcupf FC5_64_20060629.tar.bz2 / --exclude=/proc --exclude=/home --exclude=/media --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/tmp --exclude=lost+found --exclude=/FC5_64_20060629.tar.bz2
# tar jupf FC5_64_20060629.tar.bz2 / --exclude=/proc --exclude=/home --exclude=/media --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys --exclude=/tmp --exclude=lost+found --exclude=/FC5_64_20060629.tar.bz2
I can't resolve figuring out the correct syntax. Could you please shed me some light.
Besides how to read the the top level directories without decompressing the compressed tarball. The "t" option will read all files. TIA
I'm new to the unix environment. I need to find out what parameters I need to use to save directory structure and the files underneath this directory AND how to restore this directory structure on another unix machine.
