Locallly : |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
tar lcf - . | (cd /other/area/store; tar -xpvf - ) |
| 12 |
tar lcf - /path/to/file | (cd /other/area/store; tar -xpvf - ) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
To specify directories or files to exclude, we can use the option "-- |
| 15 |
exclude" |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
tar --exclude File1 --exclude Dir1 -lcf - . | ( cd /other/area; tar |
| 18 |
-xvpf - ) |
| 19 |

via SSH remotely : |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
tar -czf - /directory/to/copy | ssh systemB tar -xzvf - -C /tmp |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
How's that?? Bear in mind that SSH will use some overhead due to |
| 25 |
encryption. (you can change the cipher to blowfish if you want/is not |
| 26 |
that paranoid :-) |
