best tar command for backing up files
Hi everyone, this is my 1st post to LinuxQuestions. I am backing up a windows 7 disk with a bad OS. I booted Puppy racy 5.5, created a backup directory on my SuSe box. I have sshd running on the Suse box and can ssh from Puppt to Suse via my local LAN. I was wondering what wold be the best tar incantation too use to backup the windows files preserving dates permissions etc for reinstallation after a fresh winds install?

For me it would be just:
Code:
tar -acvf <filename.tar.bz2> <directory to archive> |
