Re: [SLE] a NERO user familiar with backing up data on multisession CDR, how do I do it in Linux too?

I know that K3b is able to do basic multisession, and I know that
"tar" command is able to do incremental backup data since date "X", so
you might use the command below to backup:
tar -cvz --newer-mtime 2006-9-1 -f mybackup-20060901.tgz Dir-to-backup/
explanation: "tar : create, verbose, gnu zip, start from modified date
2006, September, 1st, backup to file: "mybackup.tgz", backup the
following dirs: Dir-to-backup/ Dir-to-backup2/ ..."
extraction is much easier- just use:
tar -xvf mybackup.tgz
one caveeat:
this command will NOT delete your old, deleted files from archive.
So do full backup from time to time. This will fix this small problem.
