Hi all
I am running the fedore core5
I used the tar zcvf to backup all systems eg: /var,
/etc, /root... and restore it to 2nd-drive
tar zcvf /2nd-drive/backup.tar.gz /var /etc /selinux
/root....
it didn't show any error in this tar and i can see the
/var /usr has been backing up in the processing of the
backup
but i can't see those folders /var /usr when I restore
it. I repeated and tried tar cvf .tar unstead of
.tar.gz. but the result is same
cd /2nd-drive
tar zxvf backup.tar.gz
have you had this expereience? Why?
Thank you
Hm, works for me. (Tested with a small group of directories and files
on a single filesystem.)
Some ideas/questions:
- how big is the tar file?
- what filesystem is /2nd-drive on? ("mount | grep /2nd-drive/" )
- what's the exit status of the "tar zcvf" and "tar zcvf" commands?
(Enter "echo $?" immediately after the command prompt returns. If
you're using bash, it should return "0" for successful completion .)
- can you see the missing directories ig you list the contents of the
tar file? ("tar ztvf /2nd-drive/backup.tar.gz")
Kind regards,
Herta
