search in attributes.tar.gz
archives
to search for a file or folder foo
in bar_[attributes].tar.gz
use
tar -tzf bar_\[attributes\].tar.gz | grep "foo"
backup linux home w/ attributes
run with sudo
(why do I need this?):
#!/bin/bash SRC="/home/fh" DEST=/media/fh/hard_drive/linux_mirror/ DATE=`date "+%Y-%m-%d"` sudo -u fh \ time tar -czf $DEST/"$DATE"_titan.tar.gz \ -C "$(dirname "$SRC")/" "$(basename "$SRC")/" sudo -u fh \ cp -r --attributes-only "$SRC" \ $DEST/"$DATE"_titan_[attributes] sudo -u fh \ time tar -czf $DEST/"$DATE"_titan_[attributes].tar.gz \ -C "$DEST" "$DATE"_titan_[attributes] rm -rf $DEST/"$DATE"_titan_[attributes]
