Comment on How to exclude files and directories from tar archive on Debian Linux / (Cannot open: No such file or directory) cause and solution by John.
Checked this morning, did not work again. Here is the entire command line I am using.
tar -czvf /tars/ArchivesII.$TD.tgz Archives/ –exclude “Archives/Controls/” –exclude “/Archives/Sales/” –exclude “/UPS System Backup/”
Using Fedora 9.
sorry, typo, I do have the double dash in front of exclude.

tar –exclude=”/engineer/misc/Controls/*” -czvf /tars/misc.tgz misc/*
This is the command I am trying to run and it isn’t working.
I took the = out, tried the –exclude at the end no luck, any ideas?
