I have an HPUX B.11.00 U 9000/800
I have just installed the depots for gnu tar, gzip, and bzip2.
What is the correct syntax to tar up a directory....
To use the gzip and tar in the same command...
gtar -zcvf backupfile.??? /opt/app/dir .
I dont know what to put for the extension of the gzip file. Another
question... using the . at the end, it this tared relatively, I have seen
others use the - What is the difference?
I also want to do some testing with bzip2
gtar -jcvf backupfile.??? /opt/app/dir .
Again, what is the correct syntax?
As well, does gzip or bzip combined with gtar, take up alot of space, does
it have to tar the file first, and if it is tarring a 3 GB file, would it
put that 3GB file into swap before it starts to compress it.
