How to append files to existing txz archive
 
Hi, is it possible to append new files to an existing txz archive? How?

Hi, compressed archives can't be concatenated, so you'd need to uncompress the txz archive using unxz (assuming that xz was the compress program used), then use tar -A to append the new files and xz to compress the resulting archive.

"man tar" to know more
