Backup and Restoring Files: Example using the “tar” program (Linux)

#tar zcvf   /dev/fd0    /etc/X11   [means to backup and compress files of /etc/X11 to the floppy drive]

#tar ztf   /dev/fd0   [means to see a list of files backup from the floppy disk – option “t”]

#tar zxvf   /dev/fd0   [means to extract the files from the tar backup]

#tar zxvf   /dev/fd0   /   [means to denote the directory “/” where to restore the backup files]
