# tar
|
|
|
|
The GNU tar program saves many files together into one archive and can restore individual files (or all of the files) from the archive.
|
|
Tar can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update or list files in the archive.
|
|
Tar includes multivolume support, automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform remote archives and the ability to perform incremental and full backups.
|
|
If you want to use Tar for remote backups, you'll also need to install the rmt package.
|
|
You should install the tar package, because you'll find its compression and decompression utilities essential for working with files.
