  40 As 'man tar' would be happy to tell you:
  41      -r
  42      --append       Append files to the end of an archive.  (Does not work on
  43                     quarter-inch tapes).
  44
  45      -x
  46      --extract
  47      --get          Extract files from an archive.  The owner, modification
  48                     time, and file permissions are restored, if possible.  If
  49                     no file arguments are given, extract all the files in the
  50                     archive.  If a filename argument matches the name of a di-
  51                     rectory on the tape, that directory and its contents are
  52                     extracted (as well as all directories under that directo-
  53                     ry).  If the archive contains multiple entries correspond-
  54                     ing to the same file (see the --append command above), the
  55                     last one extracted will overwrite all earlier versions.
  56
  57 So basically, -r is for adding, while -x is for extracting.  Try reading
  58 the manpages.
