Jean-Louis — do you know if one can use the newer versions of tar to recover
stuff
that was backed up using these “bad” versions of tar? Or does the recording
version
have to be newer too?
The bug affect the recovery only, backup done with 1.27 and 1.28 should
be recoverable with 1.29

(I.e. maybe Gene could still test using his existing backups. And this would
mean
that older backups aren’t worthless. )

Says 1.29 fixes this.
I'll have to build it from the tarball, 1.27.1 is the newest in the
wheezy repo's.
Done, and amcheck seems happy, now we'll see if it runs ok tonight.
Thanks Jean-Louis.

Greetings all;
The last time I used amrecover I had to make a tempdir on the same
disk as the stuff I wanted to recover was on. thats ok because I
figure I can always copy it back to where it goes.
The last time I ran it, I added a directory and it recovered
everything under that directory.
Tonight I add a directory, have it do the extract, and it makes an
empty directory in the designated scratch area. huh? wth?
I want everything in that directory, as it existed on a setdate of
2017-04-15, what am I doing wrong?
Thank folks.
In the meantime I've recovered what I wanted, but it made zero
difference, my web site is off the air, claiming the server is alive
and well, but no content has been added. But the whole web sites
files are all there!
I'm lost.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
