I have just installed Free Arc utility for compression from : http://www.freearc.org/Download.aspx

Commands:
a add files to archive
c add comment to archive
ch modify archive (recompress, encrypt and so on)
create create new archive
cw write archive comment to file
d delete files from archive

How would you go about backing up just some files and subdirectories of a given directory to a compressed archive so that the tree structure could then easily be recreated from that archive.
Basically, rsync, with a little bit of scripting around (to select the files and folders I need) does the job, except I don't want to just copy.
Hi All,
My requirement is to remove the more than 60 days files from Archive folder, so prepared this command.
Code:
for files in `find /abc/Archive/<file_name_25032012.dat> -type f -mtime 61|xargs ls -lrt`
do
rm -f $files
done
I tested this command in both unix and informatica.
In unix if files are exists on this date then it's identifying files and removing else it's removing
How do I backup dot directories, dot sub-directories and dot files residing in /home/user/ to an archive? Normally I would run something like the following, but that doesn't seem to work on hidden folders and files:
Code:
tar -czvf pictures.tar.gz ~/Pictures

Hi all,
I have upgraded recently to Ubuntu 12.10 with Cinnamon 1.6.3.
When I want to use Archive Manager (file-roller 3.6.0) with Nautilus 3.4.2 I cannot add files to an existing zip archive.
(1) When I try to add a file using Archive Manager's menu: Add File nothing happens
(2) When I drag&drop a pdf file to an existing zip archive I get "You can't add an archive to itself"

File Archive is your personal File Manager with simple UI and affable featuresÂ….
Creating and storing the files within the smartphone is longer a tedious process. File Archive will let you find, create and store up files and folders within seconds.
If you are looking for a potent file manager that can copy, move, rename, create files and folders, including multi-selection, ZIP etc.
I have the followin directory structure:
base/
files/
archives/
scripts/
I want a script to run from scripts/, compress files that match results.*.log in files/ into a gzipped tar archive in archives/.
I'm trying the following command:
tar czfC ../archives/archive.tar.gz ../files results.*.log
But I get
tar: results.*.log: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with f
Everything I read says that to exclude .svn and .htaccess and other hidden files when creating a tar archive, use the --exclude=".*" pattern.
When I try, I get an empty archive. When I leave out the --exclude long option everything gets archived.
Here's the full command I'm using:
tar -czvf ../_migrate/archive_2012-05-07.tgz --exclude=".*" ./*
Hi there, I am very new to unix and having trouble with a fairly simple statement:
Code:
cd /user
ls -t -c1 | sed -ne '11,$p' | mv xargs archive/
What I want the code to do is sort all files in a directory by timestamp, select all of the files after the 10th file, and then move those files to an /archive folder.
When I execute this statement it throws a "file not found" err
