How did I overwrite a file to in "tar" file. For example I have file "backup.tar" in my home directory, which contains two file "x.sh" and "y.sh" I made some changes to one of the file "x.sh" and want to update the " backup.tar" I use tar -uvf, but this appends at the end of the tar file, but what I want is replace the file. The only way, I know of right now is, delete the file by issuing the following command tar --delete --file=backup.tar x.sh and then adding the file again using tar -uvf backup.tar x.sh Is there a better way of doing this, on a single command.
