Linux backup - using pax instead of tar (Sat, June 26, 2004)

By Alvin Alexander. Last updated: June 4, 2016

Here's a link to a quick tip on using pax instead of tar to create a large archive. The thing that got me into this problem in the first place was the new Java source code warehouse, where you can "Learn Java by Example". I basically put a search engine on top of a bunch of good open source Java projects to create something that I hope is useful.
