Please guide me.
Suppose I have a directory /data.
And want incremental backup.
What will be the incremental "tar" command syntax?
Linux already has many good backup systems which uses some variations of
tar (or
rsync and tar) and is executed from
cron.
Why not use that one of those and not reinvent the wheel?
