I am trying to restore an NT partition from backup. Naturally one has to use GNUTAR to be able to backup the filesystem.
However is there an interactive method to restore from tar, or must I untar to a holding disk first, then grab the files I need. Also a while back there was mention of restoring using amrestore then piping to smbclient. However, it didn't work out for me. If I have to untar to holding disk first, this would lead me to a small problem in case my holding disk is a little smaller than the filesystem I backed up. Hence this is the reason why I would like an interactive method. Otherwise Dump works well with restore but not with tar. Thanks! Tanniel Simonian P/A III UC Riverside Libraries
