Small issues about relative paths during Tar package Compression

There is a requirement that doesn't know how to implement it.

Compression: tar czvf/data/backup/test.tar.gz/data/a/B/directory

Decompress: cd/data/test

Tar xzvf/data/backup/test.tar.gz

The problem is that the decompressed file is in/data/test/data/a/B/directory.

Can the compression only retain all directories under directory as/instead of/data/a/B/directory?

The problem has been solved. Find the official documentation of GNU tar.

This will solve the problem.

Tar czvf/data/backup/test.tar.gz/data/a/B/directory

Change

Tar czvf/data/backup/test.tar.gz-C/data/a/B directory

C is the temporary switch working directory, and-P is the absolute path. Here we only use the-C parameter.
