Hi all,
I have been working on a backup solution for my home system and have a full
backup of /home and then incremental backups for the rest of the week.
I know how to uncompress and and action the full backup, but have 2 questions
regarding the incremental.
The incremental only tar the files that have changed or are new, which is what
I want, however, my script also saves empty directories, which I don't want.
1. How can I exclude empty directories?
2. What is the correct way to install the incremental backups after the full
backup is installed so that my home directory is back to normal i.e. I don't
want full directories over written with empty ones or end up with just a few
files.
This is probably a dumb question, but I am learning.
Thanks
Paul
