        <p>To restore is better to use first t flag and then x,

        <pre>

        <p>If you want to extrat to different directory;</p>

        <pre>
        $ tar xf full-backup-11-November-2045.tar.gz --directory=/mnt

        <p>If path is fine, extract everything;</p>

        <pre>

        <p>Extract just one file;</p>

        <pre>

        <h2 id="taradd">4. Add content to tar</h2>

        <p>Only uncompressed tar can append files without having
        to extract and compress again.</p>

        <p>First create a tar with all files in the current directory;</p>

        <pre>
        $ tar cpf core.tar *.tar.gz
        </pre>

        <p>List files before appending new file and after;</p>

        <pre>

        $ tar --append --file=core.tar libidn#1.32-1.pkg.tar.gz
        $ tar -tvf core.tar
        </pre>

        <h2 id="tarrm">5. Remove content of tar</h2>

        <pre>
        $ tar -tvf core.tar
        $ tar --delete --file=core.tar libidn#1.32-1.pkg.tar.gz
