If I give tar -xvf it replaces existing files. How to avoid this ?. Is there any switch so that the files can restored in any other location ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: TAR - Backup with Absolute Path
or download and install gnu tar, by default it restores to the current directory (for absolute paths you need an option).

Re: TAR - Backup with Absolute Path
My default dir is /home/dkrbhat
My TAR File name is dkr.TAR
Created a dir test
tar -xvf dkr.TAR -C test does not restore files
Can you give me a example.
Of course I completed the job using PAX command !!
