I am trying to make a tape archive of a directory and a file using tar
on an Encore MultiMax. The first part comes out successful:
tar c -C /usr1 gshapiro
That dumps everything in my directory to tape. The second part is
where I have trouble. I want to add to that archive a single file
(/usr/spool/mail/gshapiro). I have tried the following with no luck:
tar r -C /usr/spool/mail gshapiro
tar r /usr/spool/mail/gshapiro
tar u -C /usr/spool/mail gshapiro
tar u /usr/spool/mail/gshapiro
Does anyone have any suggestions???
Thanks,
Greg
