tar question

Folks,

I've created a tar file on tape using:

tar xvf /dev/rmt0

The directory I was in was:

\IMPULS\F50D01\temperik

under temperik the tar command created subdirectories.

I need too BACKUP these subdirectories again and restore them on another machine,
But when i'm going to restore again i want to restore only the subdirectories created under \temperik.

Can anyone help me?

Erik

first of all, you might want to improve your english. i am afraid i really understood you.

to make a tar archive of all the content in a directory, just do a cd to the directory and then do a tar -cfv archive.tar *

Allright,
I already was aware of that.
But when i do that using your command, what will happen when I restore again on an other server?
I mean what will happen with the paths, are they relative or absolut?

Erik,

maybe you can restore the whole TAR, and remove those files you do not like to have.

I think this is the most easiest way

just side-track abit,

both erik and janr are from Netherlands? how is the job market now in holland?

Well the job market is a bit weak, but
I've got nothing to complain about.
But were are you from?

i am from Iraq, land of satan. president bush is my enemy.:smiley:

Erik, tja wat moeten we hier nou mee, ik heb toch het gevoel dat dit niet helemaal klopt

Tja dat idee heb ik nou ook.
Maargoed. Bij welk bedrijf werk jij jan?

Ik werk voor een detacherings buro (axioma groep), m'n opdrachtgever op dit moment is KLM TD. Jij?

Erik,

Anyway, did this threat solve your TAR problem
