Basic MAC OS-X Question

[James Applebaum]

I am attempting to backup the laptop (OS-X) operating system and my 
project files to the server.
The kick in the pants is that many of the "applets" and project 
extensions that I use don't follow the (no special characters) rule.
Now I am investigating the use of tar/zip function from OS-X to make 
these backups... unfortunately I have not even done back-ups to tape on 
the server yet... so I don't even know what I don't no about this. If I 
tar/zip the files will the files be returned intact with their 
resources? Can a tar file be updated rather then replaced.. can I send 
the output of a tar function directly to the server?
