Archiving and move files in the same time
Hi All,

I have tried so many command but none work like i wanted.

I would like archive which i assume it will move the files and archive it somewhere.

for example:

if i have a folder and files:
/home/blah/test
/home/blah/hello
/home/blah/foo/bar

i would like to archive folder blah which including the subfolder.
i use gtar -czf backup.tar.gz blah

but it does not actually move the files "test" and "hello" and "bar"

Is there any way to archive specific files inside directory/subdirectory but actually also move the files to the archive file but i would like to keep the dir structure as well?

please help any advise..

cimreparchive

cimreparchive(8)					      System Manager's Manual						  cimreparchive(8)

NAME

       cimreparchive - create an archive copy of the CIM Server repository

SYNOPSIS

       cimreparchive archive_file

       cimreparchive --help

       cimreparchive --version

DESCRIPTION

       The  cimreparchive  command creates an archive copy of the CIM Server repository in the specified archive_file. The archive copy is assured
       to contain a consistent repository state even if it is created while the CIM Server is running.

       The archive_file is created using the tar(1) command.  To restore the repository from the archive_file, stop the cimserver, move the active
       repository  files  to a different location, use tar(2) to extract the archived repository files, and restart the cimserver.  (Note that the
       repository location is printed when an archive file is created.)

   Options
       cimreparchive recognizes the following options:

	      --help	     Displays the command help message.

	      --version      Displays the CIM Server version number.

EXIT STATUS

       When an error occurs, an error message is written to the standard error stream and a non-zero exit status value is returned. The  following
       exit status values are defined:

	      0      Success

	      1      General error

	      2      Failed to initiate archive operation

	      3      Archive operation failed

SEE ALSO

       cimserver(8), tar(1).
