Over the weekend, I took my trusty server which had multiple partitions and swap files for RH, SuSE, NT and Debian and turned the whole thing over to Debian.
Naturally, I backed up 4 Gigs of data first using tar czvf. Did a few tests and all seemed to work as tar xzvf recreated the files. Now its not working as when I ftp the data in from NT, I get this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ tar xzvf datstore tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ There's several thousand important files at stake here...can anyone tell me how to recover them? Please... Patrick
