Hi,

tar cvf ../tarfile $(lsf | grep -v "/" | sed 's/*//')

Make sure you put your tarfile at some other place to avoid "archiving the archive"
You need 'sed' to suppress the asterix given by 'lsf'

Best regards,

Dan

If you want to backup your data in a file you can use:

cd DIR
touch tarfile

tar cvf ./tarfile $(ls -p | grep -v "/")

if you want to backup in a tape :

tar cvf /dev/rmt/0m $(ls -p | grep -v "/")
