Provided AUH tarballs containing logs currently have paths starting with home/auh tar -tvf 20161102154900.tar.gz | head -1 drwxr-xr-x auh/nogroup 0 2016-11-02 09:49 home/auh/work/20161102154900/ I would recommend creating this tarball starting at the timestamp. User can trim it but we can avoid that extra work from users.
Yep, I'll see if we can avoid making tarballs altogether.
