Hi!
I have a single server and I need to perform full-backups every time. I
tryed and it had success with both dump (always-full) and tar (root-tar).
Since don't have much experience with backups, I think it's a good ideea
to learn how to restore from tape before an undesired event to happen. I
had success with restoring some deleted files or even some
test directories, but what I want now is to test to restore an entire
directory (4 GB) which holds the most important thing on my computer. I
mean I want to check that the entire content of that important backup
directory was correctly saved on tape.
The problem is that, obvioussly, I want to retore saved directory
(/my_dir) not into it's original place but into another test directory
(/test/my_dir) because I don't want my tests to interfere with existing
and critical /my_dir. There is enough space on my disk to have two copies
of that 4 GB directory.
So please give me some advises or hints about how could I restore an
entire directory in another place than the original one.
Thank you,
Radu Filip
