How to Create a SAR Archive?

In one of my previous posts, I shared material on how to extract a SAR archive.

See the post: How to Extract a SAR File

Below are a few words on how to create a SAR archive in a Windows environment.

Let’s assume you have a text file with the following content:

To add this text file to a SAR archive, you’ll need the same SAPCAR utility distribution and to execute the following command:

SAPCAR -cvf my_test_sar readme.txt

Where:

• my_test_sar is the name of your future archive;
• readme.txt is the name of the file you want to include in the archive.

Run this command.

Then, delete the text file and try extracting the archive you just created.

It may seem like a small thing, but you never know when it might come in handy.
