Kurt Knippel Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 You generally would use gzip, I think. This creates a *.tar file. I do not know the actual syntax though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digitalfusion Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 I use tar cvzf "name of resultant file" "directory to backup" this tars and compresses the file. I run it in a script to compress and ftp the file automatically to a remote backup. For further info on tar use man tar in a terminal window. You can also use gzip (man gzip) to just compress the files. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
