Tar compression exclusion directory and file method in Linux

Example 1.

If I want to compress/opt/apache/htdocs this folder, but not the inside Picture folder uploads also compressed.
Can be ruled out with the--exclude of the tar command.

Method

Compress all Catalogs

The code is as follows	Copy Code
TAR-ZCVF Htdocs.tar.gz/opt/apache/htdocs

Exclude a Directory

The code is as follows	Copy Code
TAR-ZCVF htdocs.tar.gz--exclude=/opt/apache/htdocs/uploads/opt/apache/htdocs

Exclude Multiple directories

The code is as follows	Copy Code
TAR-ZCVF htdocs.tar.gz--exclude=/opt/apache/htdocs/uploads--exclude=/opt/apache/htdocs/cache/opt/apache/htdocs

When you compress a directory, sometimes you want to exclude a directory, as shown in the following example:

Example 2.

If there are 3 directories under the test directory, AA, BB, CC

The code is as follows	Copy Code
Drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 18:48 AA Drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 18:48 bb Drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 18:48 cc

Now want to compress only the AA directory, the commands are as follows:

The code is as follows	Copy Code
TAR-ZCVF test1118.tar.gz--exclude=bb--EXCLUDE=CC test

Exclude a file from the same action as the directory
