I was doing the backup last night of the directories that I wanted to save with an ftp pipe command using tar.
Code: Select all
ftp> put "|tar cvf /boot /root [...]" backup.tar.gz1. How can I verify the contents of a *.tar file?
I tried:
Code: Select all
ftp> ! tar -tvf backup.tar.gzMy second question involves removing the current backup and trying to make another. However, this time I don't want to back up the backups. There are *.tar files on the server which are all backups of the folders that I'm going to be backing up.
2. How can I build a *.tar file of all files except files with a tar extension?
If it can't be done directly through tar but can be done through put, I am willing to transfer the files via put and then tar the files afterwards.
Any suggestions?? Oh, and by the way, hi everybody! Long time no see.
