Hi ... I've just spent ages compiling my laptop. I'm really happy with |
| 2 |
the result ... So fast ... |

What I want to is create a directory called /backup and then create a |
| 5 |
tarball using the command |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
# tar -zcvf /backup/mylaptop.tar /[all directories] except /backup (as I |
| 8 |
don't want to go in circles). |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I'm then going to copy off the resulting tarball to my server in case my |
| 11 |
laptop dies (I'd rather not have to recompile everything). Does this |
| 12 |
sound OK?If I ever had to restore I would copy the file to / and run the |
| 13 |
command. |

|
| 15 |
# tar -zxvf mylaptop.tar |
