incrementar backup using tar...

Asked by sinner in Unix Operating Systems

Tags: tar, backup, using

Hello,
I have a cron which creates a .tar file of the entire system, then ftps the file to a "backup-server" every morning at 5:30am.

I feel that this is far to redundant.
Right now I am creating the file isuing the command
tar -cf file.tar /
When I tried to perform an incremental backup using the command
tar -uf file.tar /
it backs up ALL the files... not just the ones modified from last backup. why? which flags am I missing?
I am using GNU tar.

Ideally I would do an full backup one a month and then do incremental backups for the rest of the month.

Thanks.
