I have a copy of a BackupPC hierarchy from 2019, and wish to extract the file, fInbox.
What version(s) of BackupPC were used (in 2019, and now)? Can you confirm that fInbox is a file and not a directory? For a BackupPC version 4.x backup hierarchy and assuming that fInbox is at the top level of a share's directory tree (and is a directory) I'd probably use the BackupPC_tarCreate command, something like BackupPC_tarCreate -h hostname -n dumpnumber -s sharename fInbox > /tmp/Inbox.tar which will create an archive of the original Inbox tree which can be extracted using 'tar' or a number of other archive tools e.g. 'atool'. I don't want to guess what I'd do if BackupPC version 3.x was used to create the hierarchy because it's a *very* long time since I've done anything with BackupPC version 3. Others here will be more familiar with it than I am. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
