Argument list too long in find comand with pecified targets

[Steve Burt_1 · Accepted solution]

That sounds a good idea directory by directory to get you going...

If its a large amount of data you may have to use the multiple tape option... as descibed in that second link...

Thanks a million for the help Steve you'll see I've given you relevant points for your help. although i'm not going to go with the tar command anymore as the problem is the Guys doing the backup and restores are not familiar on how to restore with the tar command. so I've decided to split up my targets in section and just append on the tape (>>).

Kevin
