Create an archive file which includes files in sub-directories?

Hi,

I want to create a archive (compression isn't an issue) which will recurse down sub-directories and create a single archive file (i.e. .tar) which can then be un-packaged and re-creates the same directory structure and files in the files in the correct places?

I have read up (and tried...) many different switches in tar & gzip but I cant for the life of me find out how to do it.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Something like this maybe:

tar cvf tets.tar `find . -type f -print`

finds all regular files from current dir, including subdirs and tars them.
