help using --newer with tar

Paxmaster · 01-31-2006, 04:59 PM

How would I have a time stamp for the date and the time with using the --newer

I know how to create a package with time and date

this is for the date --newer=2006-01-30

this is for the time --newer=17:54

now my question is how can I use this as together as a one command

thanks in advance

what are you trying to do? set a timestamp diff than the current time on the file? why not just pipe the touch cmd to change the time on the file if thats what you are trying to do

I want to make a backup using tar with --newer
how would I do it with a time plus the date

for exmple if I did a backup the whole system, now I want to backup the new stuff (new files) with the --newer comand.

Thanks
