[BackupPC-users] Newbie... How do I restore a file directly from the terminal (bz2, gz tar.gz, or ????), Not from webgui?
Hello and thanks for a nice program. I like the design of backuppc there fore I decided to try it out. Backups aren't any good unless it's possible to extract data from it some late night when everything goes bad. I have no problem to restore from the user interface. But how do I do if I just have the hard drive (I use an own hd for my topdir) and put it into a other pc? I'm new to linux so I really would like to what to write in the terminal. Whit no compression It's simple I'll just use the file browser... but when I'll use compression the file is in some kind of binary format. (bz2, gz tar.gz, or ) an example would be so nice! I have search the documentation but i couldn't find it the. I have search on the net after an example with no success..) I'll think It would be great if it was possible to find this information i the documentation. Whit out this info It's feels scary to me to use it. Best Regards and thanks in advance! /Johan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

You can use bin/BackupPC_zcat to view the uncompressed contents of a file from a terminal. You can use bin/BackupPC_tarCreate and bin/ BackupPC_zipCreate to create tar and zip archives of backups and then use those to restore files. Note that you need to run any BackupPC command as the user you used to install BackupPC. Nils Breunese. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
