ماذا يفعل tar (tape archiver) collects many files, with their folders, permissions, owners and times, into one .tar file. With a compression option it also compresses the archive: .tar.gz (gzip), .tar.bz2 (bzip2) or .tar.xz (xz).
Every tar command has one main mode : -c create, -x extract, -t list (and some others). -f FILE names the archive; put it last in a group of letters (-czf backup.tar.gz).
GNU tar removes the leading / from names when it creates an archive. So extracting in another folder never overwrites the real system files by accident.
On extract, tar finds the compression by itself: tar -xf file.tar.xz works without -J.

Main modes (pick one) -c, --createCreate a new archive. -t, --listList the content of an archive. -r, --appendAdd files to the end of an archive (not for compressed archives). -u, --updateAdd only files that are newer than the copy in the archive. -A, --catenate, --concatenateAdd other tar files to an archive. -d, --diff, --compareCompare the archive with the files on disk. --deleteRemove members from an archive (not on tapes, not compressed). --test-labelTest the volume label of the archive and exit. Archive file and compression -f, --file=archive The archive file (or device). - = stdin/stdout. -z, --gzipCompress or decompress with gzip (.tar.gz, .tgz). -j, --bzip2Compress or decompress with bzip2 (.tar.bz2). -J, --xzCompress or decompress with xz (.tar.xz). --zstdCompress with zstd (.tar.zst). -a, --auto-compressChoose the compression from the archive name's ending. -I, --use-compress-program=prog Use this program for compression, like -I 'zstd -19' or pigz. --lzma, --lzip, --lzopUse these other compressors. -Z, --compressUse the old compress program (.tar.Z). --no-auto-compressDo not guess the compression from the name.

$ مستخدم عادي# بصلاحية root (أو مع sudo)
1 Back up a folder into a gzip archive نسخ # tar -czvf /root/etc-$( date +%F).tar.gz /etcc = create, z = gzip, v = show files, f = archive name.
2 List what is in an archive نسخ $ tar -tvf /root/etc-2026-10-25.tar.gzLook before you extract.
3 Extract into another folder نسخ # tar -xzvf /root/etc-2026-10-25.tar.gz -C /tmp/restoreThe folder must exist. The real /etc is not touched.
4 Extract one file only نسخ # tar -xzf backup.tar.gz -C /tmp etc/ssh/sshd_configGive the name as it is stored (without the leading slash).
5 Create a bzip2 or xz archive نسخ $ tar -cjf docs.tar.bz2 docs/$ tar -cJf docs.tar.xz docs/xz makes the smallest file but takes more time.
6 Leave out folders you do not need نسخ $ tar -czf app.tar.gz --exclude='*.log' --exclude='node_modules' --exclude-vcs app/Smaller backups and no secrets from .git folders.
7 Keep SELinux labels and ACLs in a system backup نسخ # tar --selinux --acls --xattrs -czpf /backup/www.tar.gz /var/wwwWithout these options the labels are lost, and the restored site can give 403 errors.
8 Remove the top folder when you extract نسخ $ tar -xzf terraform-1.9.tar.gz --strip-components=1 -C /opt/terraformArchives from the web often have one extra top folder.
9 Copy a folder to another server through SSH نسخ $ tar -czf - /srv/data | ssh server2 "tar -xzf - -C /backup"No temporary file: - sends the archive through the pipe.
10 Back up only files changed in the last day نسخ # tar -czf /backup/changed.tar.gz -N "1 day ago" /homeA simple differential backup.
11 Make incremental backups with a snapshot file نسخ # tar -czf /backup/home-full.tar.gz -g /backup/home.snar /home# tar -czf /backup/home-inc1.tar.gz -g /backup/home.snar /homeThe second run stores only what changed since the first.
12 Check a backup against the disk نسخ # tar -dzf /root/etc-2026-10-25.tar.gz -C /Lists files that changed since the backup (useful in incident response).
13 Read one file from an archive without extracting نسخ $ tar -xzOf backup.tar.gz etc/hosts | less -O sends the file content to the screen.

انتبه -f takes the next word as the archive name: write -czf name.tar.gz, not -cfz.Extracting as root restores owners and permissions; extracting in / overwrites system files. Never extract an archive from an unknown source as root without listing it first (-t): names like ../../etc/passwd or absolute paths can be dangerous. tar does not keep SELinux contexts and ACLs unless you add --selinux --acls --xattrs. الملفات
