Using tar to copy Unix Directory trees on the same server or across servers

Copying a Directory to the same server:

1) Create a directory to hold the copy

mkdir /u01/oracle/product/10gR2_install_disks

2) Go to the source directory:

cd /mnt/10gR2/database

3) From within the source directory execute the tar command

tar cvf - . | (cd /u01/oracle.product/10gR2_install_disks ; tar xvfBp -)

Copying a Directory to another server:

1) Create a directory to hold the copy on the remote server

mkdir /u01/oracle/product/10gR2_install_disks

2) Go to the source directory on the local server:

cd /mnt/10gR2/database

3) From within the source directory execute the tar command

tar cvf - . | (rsh myserver " cd /u01/oracle/product/10gR2_install_disks ; tar xvf -")
