Hi,

 

I’m Using the command backuppc_tarCreate to manually restore some backups, it Works fine but i want to know if with this command can create several files and not only one big file.


tarCreate does exactly what it says it's going to do -- it creates a tar file.  If you want the individual files, you can either extract them from the tar file, or use a different method to restore.  If you are running tarCreate on the command line, you can pipe it into the tar extract command so the big tar file never gets written to disk.

$ cd (directory to hold restored files)
$ backuppc_tarCreate (options)  | tar xf -

You can also use the web interface to restore files using the same method they were backed up.  You can restore back to the same location or to a different system or directory.
