Install tar Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The tar package can be installed with the following command: 

$ sudo yum install tar

Rationale

The GNU tar program saves many files together into one archive and can restore individual files (or all of the files) from the archive. tar includes multivolume support, automatic archive compression/decompression, the the ability to perform incremental and full backups. If
