Tar of Linux commands

The Action tar command is a reliable way to back up files in a unix/linux system. It is almost possible to work in any environment, and its use rights are for all users.

Grammar:

tar [main option + Secondary options] File or folder

Main options:

C Create a new archive file. (package) x release the file from the archive file. (unpacking) T lists archive contents The main option is only available at the same time as a

Auxiliary options:

The zgzip format, usually the file jbzip2 format with the suffix GZ, is usually a file with a suffix of bz2 v to display the command to run the process F using the archive name p using the original properties of the original file (will not be used in seclusion)--exclude file    in the compression process, do not package file

Demo Sample:
Package all files in the/etc folder into/tmp/etc.tar

TAR-CVF/TMP/ETC.TAR/ETC <== only packaged, not compressed!
Tar-zcvf/tmp/etc.tar.gz/etc <== after packing. After the TAR-JCVF/TMP/ETC.TAR.BZ2/ETC <== is packaged in gzip compression. BZIP2 Compression # Special Note that the file name after the number f is taken by yourself, and we are accustomed to using. Tar as an identification.
# Assuming that the Z-parameter is added, the. tar.gz or. tgz represent the gzip compressed tar file ~# Assuming that a J-parameter is added, then use. tar.bz2 as the file name. ~# The above instruction will display a warning message when it is running: # "Tar:removin G Leading '/"from member names" That's a special setting for absolute paths.

See what files are in the/tmp/etc.tar.gz file above

tar-ztvf/tmp/etc.tar.gz# because we use gzip compression, so to check the files in the tar file, # will have to add Z this parameter!
It's very important!

Unzip the/tmp/etc.tar.gz file under/USR/LOCAL/SRC

cd/usr/local/srctar-zxvf/tmp/etc.tar.gz# in the case of a preset, we are able to unzip the file wherever it is. In this example, I first transform the working folder to/usr/local/src, and the Unpacked/tmp/etc.tar.gz# folder will be in/usr/local/src/etc, in addition. Assuming you enter/usr/local/src/etc#, you will find that the file properties under this folder may be different from the/etc/.

Under/tmp, I just want to untie the etc/passwd in/tmp/etc.tar.gz.

cd/tmptar-zxvf/tmp/etc.tar.gz etc/passwd# I can check the file name in Tarfile through TAR-ZTVF. Suppose that a single file is only needed. # can be released in this way. Notice that!
The root folder within the etc.tar.gz/is taken away!

Backup/home,/etc, but do not/home/dmtsai

Tar--exclude/home/dmtsai-zcvf myfile.tar.gz/home/*/etc

Unzip to the specified folder

Tar-zxvf/home/images.tar.gz-c/specific
