        This command will create a file called mirror.tar in your home directory on your raspberry. You can copy/transfer it to your computer with filezilla, the same way you did to copy new files to your raspberry

            Sorry didn’t happen,
            he refused “cowardly or yellow” this is the translation I found, to create an empty archiv.

            pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ tar -cvf mirror.tar/MagicMirror
            tar: Anlegen eines leeren Archivs wird feige verweigert.
            „tar --help“ oder „tar --usage“ gibt weitere Informationen.

              Two things -

              1. You’re in the MagicMirror directory. Type this:
              cd ~
              
              1. You need a space here:
              tar -cvf mirror.tar/MagicMirror
              

              should be

              tar -cvf mirror.tar /MagicMirror
              

              What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?

                sorry but if I write just

                pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~
                

                nothing happens

                  That’s okay! You’re in the right folder now :)

                  In the previous post your command prompt looked like this:

                  pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $
                  

                  Which shows you in the MagicMirror directory. But if your command prompt now looks like this:

                  pi@raspberrypi:~ $
                  

                  Then you are back in the correct ‘~’ folder and you can proceed to step 2.

                  What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?

                    @in_a_days said in Starter problem:

                    tar -cvf mirror.tar /MagicMirror

                    this is what I get:

                    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd ~
                    pi@raspberrypi:~ $ tar -cvf mirror.tar /MagicMirror
                    tar: Entferne führende „/“ von Elementnamen
                    tar: /MagicMirror: Funktion stat fehlgeschlagen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
                    tar: Beende mit Fehlerstatus aufgrund vorheriger Fehler
                    

                    What do you think?
                    Thank you

                      I apologize, I have not used the tar command before. Remove the ‘/’ before MagicMirror. Try:

                      tar -cvf mirror.tar MagicMirror
