Actually, what tar does is make a bunch of little files into one big file. For single large files, cp is fine. The only thing I might add is that rsync will give you a couple of advantages: if you're regularly updating a file, repeated rsync runs will only copy the differences in the file instead of the whole thing all over again. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.debian.org/
