Subject: tar command example for backup file
Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2022 02:02:05 +0000
Message-ID: <167167452515.3504557.7795857663092030529@wrigleys.postgresql.org> (raw)
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/backup-file.html
Description:
It would be nice to change the tar command example to:
tar -cf backup.tar -C /usr/local/pgsql/data .
instead.
Otherwise, the /usr/local/pgsql path gets stored in the tar archive which
can be annoying to extract to another location (especially since not all
versions of tar support the newer --strip-components parameter).
