Wildcards are expanded by shell, not by tar. Tar reats all its non-optional arguments as file names. When you call it like this: > > tar -C ~/foobar -czf foobar.tar.gz *.sql the shell tries to find files matching *.sql and replaces it with their names. Since there are no matching files in the cwd, it leaves the argument as is and then invokes tar. Regards, Sergey
