tarball to another drive

  • 772

I'm just creating a tarball of a corrupted USB NTFS Windows drive which I mounted in /media. Instead of creating the tarball in on the drive itself /dev/sdb2 I wish to have it created on my own drive /dev/sda. What's the correct output?

tar

    You can use the following command to put the tarball on the other drive:

    tar cvf /<mount_point_of_dev_sda>/<archive_name>.tar /media

    If you want to gzip your tar file add 'z' to tar options (tar czvf) and append.gz at the end of the .tar file.
