Could someone please provide me some sample code for this?

the examples from the man tar on AIX

Examples
       1    To write the file1 and file2 files to a new archive on the default tape drive, enter:
            tar -c file1 file2

       2    To extract all files in the /tmp directory from the archive file on the /dev/rmt2 tape
            device and use the time of extraction as the modification time, enter:

            tar -xm -f/dev/rmt2 /tmp
       3    To create a new archive file that contains the file1 file and pass the archive file to
            the dd command to be written to the /dev/rmt1 device, enter:

            tar -cvf - file1 | dd of=/dev/rmt1 conv=sync
       4    To display the names of the files in the out.tar disk archive file on the current
            directory, enter:

            tar -vtf out.tar
       5    To expand the compressed tar archive file, fil.tar.z, pass the file to the tar
            command, and extract all files from the expanded tar archive file, enter:

            zcat fil.tar.Z | tar -xvf -
       6    To archive the contents of /usr/include and /usr/bin files using short relative path
            names, enter:

            cd /usr
            tar -cvf/dev/rmt0 -C./include . -C ../bin .

       7    To archive to an 8-mm device when using the -S flag, enter:

            tar -cvf /dev/rmt0 -S 4800000b /usr

            Note: When archiving to an 8-mm device, the -S Feet and -S Feet@Density flags are not
            recommended, since the 8-mm device does not use the concept of density when writing to
            a tape.
       8    To archive a list of all C files that is listed in the file through the InputList
            argument of the -L option, enter:

            tar -cvf fl.tar -L fl_list
            Where fl_list is a file consisting a list of all .c files in it. This can be obtained
            as follows:

            ls *.c > fl_list
       9    To archive a list of all C files by setting a variable using the -L option, enter:

            ls *.c > fl_list
            fl=fl_list
            tar -cvf var.tar -L $fl
       10   To avoid the truncation of long user or group names during creation of the archive,
            enter:

            tar -cvEf file.tar file
       11   To create a new archive file that contains the file1 file with ACL and EA, enter:

            tar -cvUf /tmp/tar.ar file1

to build the gz enter gzip yourtar.tar
