Hi Managers,

I have a trouble to make a tar like this: tar cvf /tmp/test.tar `find /data
-name '*.c'`

each time, I recevied a error says: /sbin/tar: Arg list too long

Could I have another way to backup only the selection files?

I'm running under Tru64 V5.1a.

Any help would be appreciated, and Thanks in advanced.

Wei Jiang
