How to preserve time and ownership when backing up files

Hi,

How can I backup files to tape and at the same time preserving their timestamp and ownership. I am using "tar" is there any option available?

thanks!!

You should start with man tar.

Check options m and p

tar will preserve timestamp and ownership of files. You can use any backup tool for that purpose.
fbackup,dump,vxdump or netbackup etc

all backup tools preserve time stamp
