tar -pczf www-2008-oct-13.tar.gz www/
lets say i want to compress the /var/www directory this is what i would do, i would cd to the /var directory:
cd /var

tar -pczf backup.tar.gz www/
how how do i untar it? once i have tar it, i can untar it with this command:
tar xvfz backup.tar.gz

I have forgotten "p" I got it Thanks.
I suggest all the users to add "v" so that it will display what it is doing.
Example: tar -pczvf example.tar.gz /example
