is there a standalone executable which will undo backuppc's compression? yesterday i needed some files from an old backup, only available on our offsite disk. i realize that we should have a second (idle) backuppc installation available for such eventualities, but we don't, and i simply mounted the disk containing the old pool, navigated to the right place, and copied the files i needed. renaming/etc was no problem, but then to uncompress, i had to copy the files to a system with backuppc installed, so that i could run them through BackupPC_zcat.
what i would have loved to have instead was a simple C program version of that script. (or, better, a backup system that uses gzip or bzip for its compression. :-) is there a standalone decompressor? what are the reasons for backuppc using a "non-standard" compression? (or, am i way off base? am i simply using the wrong program or arguments to decompress?) paul =--------------------- paul fox, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (arlington, ma, where it's 64.6 degrees) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
