This is the output:
Code:
 date +%d%m%y%H%M
+ find . ( -type d ! -name . -prune ) -o -type f -mtime +5 -exec tar -rvf kay_2108061554.tar {} ;
tar: cannot open kay_2108061554.tar
tar: cannot open kay_2108061554.tar
tar: cannot open kay_2108061554.tar
tar: cannot open kay_2108061554.tar
tar: cannot open kay_2108061554.tar
+ cd -
/interface/backup
+ read DAYS ARCH_PATH
+ cd
+ date +%d%m%y%H%M
+ find . ( -type d ! -name . -prune ) -o -type f -mtime + -exec tar -rvf kay_2108061554.tar {} ;
+ cd -
/interface/backup
+ read DAYS ARCH_PATH
+ cd
+ date +%d%m%y%H%M
+ find . ( -type d ! -name . -prune ) -o -type f -mtime + -exec tar -rvf kay_2108061554.tar {} ;
+ cd -
/interface/backup
+ read DAYS ARCH_PATH

The other problem with this is, even when it tars the files,assumming there are 5files is a path, it tars only one of the files.Ideally,it should take all the files in the folder that is older than the date specified,and put them in One dot.tar file.

I thought of reading the files in a folder and save it to some file:
Code:
find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune  \) -o  -type f  -mtime +$DAYS | \
  sed "s+^.+$PWD+" >>FileList

Then cat the file,read from the cat output,then perform the tar on it.See the full code below.Its not working though.probably u could spot the mistake.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

#
# Build list of files to archive
#

#FileList=$PWD/filelist
while read DAYS ARCH_PATH
do
  cd $ARCH_PATH
  find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune  \) -o  -type f  -mtime +$DAYS | \
  sed "s+^.+$PWD+" >>filelist
  cd -
done < filestoarchive.txt

#
# Tar all selected files using builded list
#

for i in `cat $FileList`
do
tar -cvfl  kay_`date +%d%m%y%H%M`.tar $i |gzip >/$PWD/kay_`date +%d%m%y%H%M`.tar.gz
done

#
# Delete all tared files only if tar successful
#

#if [ $? -eq 0 ]
#then
#   while read file
#   do
#      rm -f $file
#   done < $FileList

Thanks a lot

virt-tar-in

virt-tar-in(1)						      Virtualization Support						    virt-tar-in(1)

NAME

       virt-tar-in - Unpack a tarball into a virtual machine disk image.

SYNOPSIS

	virt-tar-in -a disk.img data.tar /destination

	virt-tar-in -d domain data.tar /destination

	zcat data.tar.gz | virt-tar-in -d domain - /destination

WARNING

       Using "virt-tar-in" on live virtual machines can be dangerous, potentially causing disk corruption.  The virtual machine must be shut down
       before you use this command.

DESCRIPTION

       "virt-tar-in" unpacks an uncompressed tarball into a virtual machine disk image or named libvirt domain.

       The first parameter is the tar file.  Use "-" to read the tar file from standard input.	The second parameter is the absolute target
       directory to unpack into.

EXAMPLES

       Upload a home directory to a guest:

	virt-tar-in -d MyGuest homes.tar /home

JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH

       This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-in" command.  For anything more complex than a trivial
       copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.

OPTIONS

       Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.

SEE ALSO

       guestfish(1), virt-cat(1), virt-copy-in(1), virt-copy-out(1), virt-edit(1), virt-make-fs(1), virt-tar-out(1), <http://libguestfs.org/>.
