I'm still working my way through tar manuals and I'm coming across this problem: creating tarballs is easy, however, when I try to create it to where only files that are newer are added (such as in Pictures, where I don't want multiple backups based by dates), tar complains about it. Does anybody know the right way to do this, given that:
1. The directory you want to backup is $HOME/Pictures 2. The file you want to backup to is $HOME/backups/Pictures.tar.gz
What have you tried already so we don't suggest versions of the tar command that have not worked for you? -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
