# tar -cf /home/kes/backup/conf/aaa_etc.tar -C / boot/loader.conf etc/* usr/local/etc/* usr/local/virtwww/*
tar: No match.

And next does not work as expected:
# tar -cf /home/kes/backup/conf/aaa_etc.tar -C / boot/loader.conf etc usr/local/etc usr/local/virtwww

I get:
boot
etc
mysite
local
sub
usr
virtwww

Why local, sub, mysite, virtwww are in ROOT or tar???
'local' must be under 'usr'
'virtwww' must be under 'local'
'mysite' must be under 'virtwww'
but not in root

Why I get that  wrong result?

Thank you
