The use case I am in mind is to make a backup of some data. I would like to create a tar file, mainly because there are tens of thousands of small files.
I use a cloud storage service which basically will keep polling the files on the hard drive to know when new files should be uploaded to the server. The files to back-up are on a Linux server, while the storage service has Windows client. Files from Linux server to Windows machine are shared using Samba. The service has a Linux client, which is compiled for x86 and can't be run on my server, as I use Raspberry Pi, which is ARM-based. The service is Asus Web Storage
Is there a way to create a virtual tar file, which will not be written to disk, for example, using fuse?
Or any other simple solution?
