CarloM, thank you i was actually working with:

Code:
tar -cvf /varios/restore/test.tar -X excludefile.txt /jfma/test1/

and after that i was going to execute the gzip. Two sentences to be clear, but yours worked for me.

Thank you. God Bless.SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

The default symmetric cipher used is CAST5, but may be chosen with the --cipher-algo option to gpg. --sign -s Make a signature. See gpg. --recipient user -r user Encrypt for user id user. See gpg. --local-user user -u user Use user as the key to sign with. See gpg. --list-archive List the contents of the specified archive. --output file -o file Write output to specified file file. --gpg gpgcmd Use the specified command gpgcmd instead of gpg. --gpg-args args Pass the specified options to gpg. --tar tarcmd Use the specified command tarcmd instead of tar. --tar-args args Pass the specified options to tar. --version Print version of the program and exit. --help Display a brief help page and exit.
