Linux backups: Using find, xargs, and tar to create a huge archive
By Alvin Alexander. Last updated: January 18 2018
I did something wrong in a previous blog entry that led me to use the "pax" command to create a large backup/archive. There's nothing wrong with using the pax command -- other than the fact that it's not available for Cygwin -- and I really needed to created a huge archive. (I know that pax is available for our Linux and Unix systems, but I can't find a version for Cygwin.)
