Note: There are two possibilities to add an archive archive_2.tarto anotherarchive_1.tar. The first one is to use -r as seen previously when add a regular file to an existing archive. In this case, the added archive [archive_2.tar] is seen like a regular file added to an existing archive. The option -tvf will reveal that the added archive appears at the end of the archive as a file. A second possibility consists on using the -A option. In this case, the added archive does not appear as an archive. This command create a new archive as we have used tar command to the original directories.
