How to stop gzip from compressing the root path to files?
When I run the following command:
tar cfvz backup.tar.gz /path/to/my/files/*
It gzips the entire path. So when I unzip the file, I have to go open 4 folders (path -> to -> my -> files) to get to the files I wanted to backup.
How do I make the files show in root of the gzipped file rather then the entire path?
Thanks in advance!
