tar question

[todd at aristesoftware.com (Todd Cary)]

Basic tar question:

I have created a ar file with

tar -prvf /tmp/ib_backup.tar /opt/interbase/data/*

The file has been copied to another box and I want to untar the file into

/opt/interbase/data/

I am not sure about the syntax; how to specify where I want the data to 
be placed.

Here is my start of the command:

tar -xvf /tmp/ib_backup.tar                   #The tar file is in /tmp
