Hi
I have number of selected files to backup and it is also in different
folders
How can I make it easy?
eg:
tar zcvf select-file.tar.gz from selected file or tar zcvf
select-file.tar.gz (from selected files in file.txt)?
Thank you for your help
I'm sure there will be other ideas but in the absence of an "include
these files" file option, you could employ a simple loop to append the
files in a list to a tar archive. For example, if you had a file named
"include" with these 3 records
/bin/gawk
/etc/fstab
/etc/resolv.conf
This would cause the 3 files to be archived as "included.tar".
[rj@mavis ~]$ while read inc ; do echo "including:" $inc ; tar -v -r
$inc -f included.tar ; done < include
Just to be sure....
[rj@mavis ~]$ tar -tvf included.tar
-rwxr-xr-x root/root 320416 2007-03-14 09:48:15 bin/gawk
-rw-r--r-- root/root 874 2008-09-23 09:53:40 etc/fstab
-rw-r--r-- root/root 135 2008-08-21 21:18:43 etc/resolv.conf
[rj@mavis ~]$
The real challenge here is to compile the "include" file correctly.
