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
Check out the -T or --files-from= option. Something like: (Double check the syntax!)
tar zcv -T file.txt -f elect-file.tar.gz
You will probable find the tar info file more helpful then the tar man page.
