Tar files that were modified in the last 2 days

Question

I am trying to tar all the files in my downloads folder that was changed in the last 2 days. When I execute the below, it instead tar's all the files inside my Downloads folder

find ~/Downloads -mtime 2 -print0 | xargs -0 tar -cvfz test.tar.gz 

Answer 1

尝试使用 -mtime -2，在两天内压缩所有文件。

Answer 2

确保使用find ~/Downloads/*而不是find ~/Downloads因为find ~/Downloads还将返回父文件夹~/Downloads这导致整个文件夹被存档，而不仅仅是更改的文件。
