I know that others have helped you with this but I thought that I would
take a moment to tell you about star instead of just tar. I see that
you're new at this but you can proably hunt around and get star installed.
You would find it to be a lot better than just tar. If you need to tar up
a LOT of files or you want to ensure that you can move files from very
different versions of UNIx or Linux or what-ever then standard tar ( star
) is the way to go.
Generally, for some sort of task like you describe I would first create a
list of the files that I want to put in the archive :
find /export/nfs > /tmp/list.txt
then just tell star that you want to use that list of files ( and
everthing else )
star -c list=/tmp/list file=/bigarea/export_nfs.tar
The possible benefit to using a list like that is that you can use grep on
that /tmp/list.txt to generate subsets of that list.

ps: you can get star and everthing else under the Sun at www.blastwave.org
