Thanks to:
Lucas Carey, Steve Feehan, Peter Stern, Shiva Gowda, Xavier Mertens and
Stephen Mulcahy to their quick answer !
More of them propose:
find /data -name '*.c' -type f -exec tar rvf {} \;
or
find /data -name '*.c' | xargs tar cvf /tmp/test.tar -
Thanks again!!!
Original message:
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.
