I know this is a really stupid question but I do not have the time to
figure this out as it is an emergency,

How do i Create a TAR file on a server as a file (not going to a Tape
Drive) on a particular directory?

Ie I want to back up the /usr directory and save it in a TAR file called
usr.tar

PLEASE HELP! Please provide switches, etc...

Thanks a million for any assistance (as I know this is very basic and I
feel like an idiot)

Paul
