Basic tar question:
I have created a ar file with
tar -prvf /tmp/ib_backup.tar /opt/interbase/data/*
The file has been copied to another box and I want to untar the file into
/opt/interbase/data/
I am not sure about the syntax; how to specify where I want the data to be placed.
Here is my start of the command:
tar -xvf /tmp/ib_backup.tar #The tar file is in /tmp
You can always use the '-C' option to tar, which specifies the destination directory.
