The method for adding multiple directories to the "archive_file" data source is:
- Create a list of directories that you want to archive.
- Use the "-i" flag followed by the list of directories to include in the archive.
- Use the "-r" flag to recursively include all subdirectories and files within the specified directories.
- Use the "-o" flag to specify the name and location of the archive file to be created.
- Use the command line interface to execute the command.
For example, the command to add multiple directories to the archive_file data source could look like this:
tar -czvf /path/to/archive_file.tar.gz -C /path/to/directory1 -C /path/to/directory2 -C /path/to/directory3 .
