Did you want to restore to the original remote host or to a mounted local filesystem? If the latter, and the problem is not having space for the intermediate tar image file, then pipe the tarCreate command output to an appropriate tar restore command. Note that the extract will happen in your current directory unless you include a -C path option, and ownership is going to be set according to the numeric user id on the original file which may not match when on a different machine. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/

I assume I can use BackupPC_zcat on each file and restore it to the proper location, thing is, I have the files which are part of either full backup and incremental backup and the last save is a incremental one, so is there a way to work with only the incremental one and have BackupPC_zcat know when to take it from the full backup? ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/

And it will use the method configured for that host for the restore. If you want the large tar image file instead you could use the web interface to download it on some other computer with space. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List:https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki:https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/

what is the expected behavior if I restore to remote and not localhost? > Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2024 at 7:42 PM > From: "Les Mikesell" > To: "General list for user discussion, questions and support" > > Cc: "daggs" > Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] error restoring backup > > On Sat, Feb 10, 2024 at 10:53 AM daggs via BackupPC-users > wrote: > > > > the log doesn't specify the command but I think I have a clue, I saw that > > the cmd is something in the line of this: > > https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/291402/backuppc-restore-using-command-line-tools > > > > so it restores it to local path, in my case the tar file should be almost 3 > > TB of size and the local path as at most 16 GB. > > the target path has enough space. > > so I assume the issue is lack of space > > tarCreate writes to stdout, which in that example is redirected to a > local file.

Re: [BackupPC-users] error restoring backup
the log doesn't specify the command but I think I have a clue, I saw that the cmd is something in the line of this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/291402/backuppc-restore-using-command-line-tools so it restores it to local path, in my case the tar file should be almost 3 TB of size and the local path as at most 16 GB. the target path has enough space. so I assume the issue is lack of space > Sent: Saturday, February 10, 2024 at 3:21 AM > From: "Norman Goldstein" > To: backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] error restoring backup > > Run tarCreate at the command prompt.
