Backup selected files only
Want to use tar to backup only certain files in a directory? First, create a file with the file you want to backup:
cat >> /etc/backup.conf
# /etc/passwd
# /etc/shadow
# /etc/yp.conf
# /etc/sysctl.conf
EOF
Then run tar with the -T flag pointing to the file just created:
tar -cjf bck-etc-'date +%Y-%m-%d'.tar.bz2 -T /etc/backup.conf
Now you have your backup.
