Dec 28, 2019 at 11:20 comment added Paulo Tomé If there is a size limit you may split the tarball into smaller files using the split utility.
Dec 28, 2019 at 4:48 comment added ordinaryman09 was trying to back it up to S3, but they have limit on the single file size. How are you doing your backups?
Dec 25, 2019 at 3:36 comment added Paulo Tomé If its taking too long drop the -z flag. Compress and encrypt data when the tarball is complete.
Dec 25, 2019 at 3:32 comment added ordinaryman09 I did tar -cvpzf

Dec 25, 2019 at 3:22 comment added Paulo Tomé Have you compressed data? What flags did you use in your tar command?
Dec 25, 2019 at 3:14 comment added ordinaryman09 ok I just tried with tar, it seemed to work, but it takes forever. any other way to accomplish this? thanks!

Dec 25, 2019 at 2:19 comment added Paulo Tomé zip is a tool to package and compress (archive) files. My suggestion is to first create a tarball (with tar) with the whole volume of the drive and afterwards compress it.
