Subject: | [Bug-tar] Scripted Backup overwriting its own tar file |
Date: | Sun, 01 Jul 2007 21:48:32 -0000 |
User-agent: | Thunderbird 1.5.0.8 (X11/20061025) |
In the Backup variable BACKUP_DIRS, I have two directories: /etc and /home/myself/practice. In the Backup variable BACKUP_FILES I also mentionned two files, say file01 abd file02.
Executing the command backup, I finally got a successful completion, that is RC0 for the backup of the two directories, and of the Miscellaneous Files. But it seems that every successive sub-routine overwrites the previous one. The end result is that my BACKUP_FILE only includes the files of the Miscellaneous only.
Should not the Tar operation be --append instead of --create ?I am newbie with Linux, and I am not an IT person. So I hoped the above clearly show my problem.
