Hello,
1) When I do a man page on 'tar', the screen comes up all
garbled. I believe
this was discussed on the list a
while back, but I can't seem to find those mails
that will shed some insight on
why this is happening. Does this have something to
do with the $TERM
variable?
2) I am using 'tar' to create a backup of a directory
structure to another Linux server
on the same LAN. Here is a screen
dump:
# tar -cvzf
-f 209.212.123.157:/usr/backups /tmp/testdir
Gives this output
tar: 209.212.123.157\:/usr/backups: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Removing leading `/' from member names tmp/testdir/ tmp/testdir/testfile1 tmp/testdir/testfile2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors I am trying to backup the directory /tmp/testdir and copy
the archive onto the
server substituted by the IP address 'IP'. Where am I
going wrong here?
