Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Filename collision during backup Post 302718957 by cornellhumphrey on Sunday 21st of October 2012 02:39:34 PM

Thank you for your advice. Forgive my ignorance:

Hi Alister,

1. What are the differences between par and cp? Was any compression applied?
2. Will the directory structure be preserved?
3. How about: find . -name '*.tar' | pax -w /media/mypassport/backup
4. Does it only work for *.tar files? How about *.jar or *.txt files?

Thanks,
C. H.
