UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.classic UBB.classic 6 Support Backing Up Member Directory Using TAR & GZIP

I am running UBBc 6.7.3 and am preparing to upgrade to Threads. As part of that process, I am setting up the scripts to backup my classic files using TAR & GZIP on a Unix server using the instructions in the Backup and/or Transfer documentation.

However, when I try to TAR the Members directory I get an error message that the Argument list is too long. I have around 15,000 members.

I am looking for suggestions on how to go about using TAR on the Members directory. I have successfully backed up all the other files and directories.

Thanks for your suggestions.
