名称中带有反斜杠的Tar文件夹

Question

I am trying to archive a directory which has several backslashes in the name. My directory name is "\\\\abc\\pqr\\xyz". Here is the command I used.

tar -czf abc.tar "\\\\abc\\pqr\\xyz"

I was getting this error.

tar: \\abc\pqr\\xyz: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Use single quotes. You can test with echo:

#!/bin/sh
echo "\\\\abc\\pqr\\xyz"
echo '\\\\abc\\pqr\\xyz'
