[nv-l] Compress database Directory

["Bursik, Scott {PBSG}" <Scott.Bursik@pbsg.com>]

NetView 7.1.3 AIX 4.3.3

I am doing some trouble shooting on one of my NetView servers and I am
getting ready to restart automatic map generation but before I do I want to
back up my databases directory. I remember someone telling me not to use tar
on the databases because it can damage them. Is that true and if it is, what
should I use?

Thanks,
