Don't Quite Understand TAR and CPIO

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm wanting to make a tar-ball, or similar, backup of certain files on the Win2K (fat32) partition on my mostly RedHat box. For example, I'd like to backup (create a tar-ball) of the *.doc files on my Win2K partition, mounted at /mnt/win2k. From the documentation, it seems like CPIO is the choice using a find command; e.g.:

find /mnt/win2k/*.doc | cpio -o ...

This doesn't seem to work, however, in that the find command doesn't return the path/filename of the *.doc files I'm trying to archive.

What am I missing here?

Thanks.
