I am trying to recreate the process used to create a tar file we use.
The tar file contains what appears to be a group of files filtered from all over the file system. I don't know if the original command used --exclude or --include or a combination of both or perhaps a file containing the paths.
I could easily use the existing tar as a template to grab the same files, but if --include or --exclude were used, I would probably miss some or include others that should not be in the tar.
Does the tar file include info I can use to recreate the original command?
