Second. I have searched for the tar manual, but no luck to find the right one.

untar a file
tar xvf file.tar
tar zxvf file.tar.gz
tar zxvf file.tgz
so
mkdir test
cd test
tax zxvf ../file.tar
add the file in the structure under test then retar the file
tar cvf ../newfile.tar .
or
tar czvf ../newfile.tar.gz .
tar czvf ../newfile.tgz .
to add another location just add it
tar czvf ../newfile.tgz /home/usr/MyDocs /bin /lib /root
Hope this helps

But, thanks to both of you

Can I add af file or dir to an existing .tar file?
I start with:
tar -cvf /media/mmc1/archive.tar /home/user/MyDocs
now i fx want to add [/use/bin] folder to it, is that posible?
(I prefer to use the tar program thats default on the N900)
Second. I have searched for the tar manual, but no luck to find the right one.
When I write "tar --help" I got
"Usage: tar -[czxtvO] [-X FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)]..." with I can't use for anything...
