tar -cvf etc.tar /app/etc   #打包
tar -zcvf pack.tar.gz pack/  #打包压缩为一个.gz格式的压缩包
tar -jcvf pack.tar.bz2 pack/ #打包压缩为一个.bz2格式的压缩包
tar -Jcvf pack.tar.xz pack/  #打包压缩为一个.xz格式的压缩包

2. Unpack and decompress

 tar -xvf pack.tar  # 解包pack.tar文件
tar -zxvf pack.tar.gz /pack  #解包解压.gz格式的压缩包到pack文件夹
tar -jxvf pack.tar.bz2 /pack #解包解压.bz2格式的压缩包到pack文件夹
tar -Jxvf pack.tar.xz /pack  #解包解压.xz格式的压缩包到pack文件夹
