Hi, i recently upgraded my server to redhat 9.0, i am trying to backup the /var/spool/mail directory, using the following command: (i change to the root dir). and execute
tar -cvf /dev/st0 var/spool/mail/[a-j]*

and i get an error, how can i use the tar command and only backup the files which begins between letter a and j, before i upgrade (version 7.0) i was able to use the command listed before. I don´t know if i am crazy, or i am doing somehting wrong.
hope somebody can help me.
thanks in advance
