tar command is used to manipulate tape archives. The first letter of mode must be one of:
Create a new archive containing directories. Archives created with this mode are writ-
ten in the traditional tar format, and are easily imported and exported by many differ-
ent systems.
Make full backup of directories, the file.bdl argument is required. Archives created
with this mode are also written in the traditional format. After the archive is complete,
a list of directories and identifying information for each directory is written to file.bdl
( stands for backup directory list). A timestamp is also written which indicates the
.bdl
time of the full backup.
Make partial backup of directories, the file.bdl argument is required. Archives created
with his mode contain non-traditional information. Files older than the timestamp in
file.bdl are included in the archive. As each directory is encountered, file.bdl is
checked to make sure the identifying information is the same. If not, all files and direc-
tories beneath the encountered directory are included in the archive. A file list for each
directory is also put in the new archive; these are called dumpdir records. File.bdl is
left unchanged.
Restore directories from the archive, all files and directories if no directory arguments
are given. As files are restored from tape, their modification time, UID and GID own-
erships, and permission bits are also restored. When dumpdir records (see
above) are encountered, the directory on disk is examined. Any files in the directory
that are not in the file list are removed.
Table of contents (list) of archive, all files and directories if no directory arguments are
given.
Extract directories from archive, all files and directories if no directory arguments are
given. As files are restored from tape, their modification time, UID and GID owner-
ships, and permission bits are also restored. Dumpdir records (see P option above) are
ignored.
