Start by doing a:
tar tvf www.tar
to get a listing of the names in the tarball.
If you need to restore a specific file or directory,
do a:
tar xvf www.tar ./www/specific/folder
or
tar xvf www.tar ./www/specific.file
The files are restored relative to the current directory.
The naming "./www/specific/folder" should match the list
you got from the "tar tvf" command.
The restore reads the whole archive, so it can take a while.
