Creating tar.gz archives.
I'm looking for software to do this. Any good free ones out there?

Mainstay compression for *nix systems. But, it has been around from at least the mid 80's. Last edited by chinaski : 05-07-2012 at 03:29 PM. |

What software do you need beyond tar and gzip? This is from memory here, don't go cutting and pasting and saying I misled you. I haven't done this in some years now.
tar -cvf tarfile_filename "Files_to_backup" gzip -9 tarfile_filename |
