If it doesn't necessarily have to be tar, then I'd recommend using 7zip:
archivers/p7zip
It has among the best compression ratios.
The man page for tar command says there a 4 different compress types you can
use, xz, bzip, bzip2 and gzip.
Which one is the fastest and compresses the most?
I am using -z option for gzip and it sure is slow.
Hoping one of the other zip options are better.
What do you guys use?
Another question about tar is can I have tar create a compressed bkup
of 2 files and a directory tree all in single tar command?
Sorry,that will not work for me.
Has to be something that comes as part of the base system.
