I have always found that tar'ing the directory up first then compressing it
works quite well.

We do it with the os command "compress /directory/*" then copy it to tape.
Nothing fancy, but it works.

Hi all,
please excuse me for this OT question.

which is the best way to compress a directory
and write to tape in AIX5.2L ?

i see various combinations of tar, gzip , dd ...
on the net to do this task.

Regards,
Prem.
