add 'tar r' and 'tar u' to your arsenal.
- emmelaich 9y agoIn about 40 years of using Unix I have never used r or u.
- liveoneggs 9y agoboth seem fairly important in the 40-years-ago world concerning the 't'(ape) part of tar but okay. I use them frequently as an "rsync"-ish into the archive file, which I can then use to take point-in-time snapshot/backups.
