Hello,
I'm a newbie too, so I won't go in deep, and take my answer with some grain of
salt :
about the tar :
To extract files from a Tar file
Extracts all files from a compressed Tar file of the name archive.tar.gz.
tar -xzf archive.tar.gz
To extract to a specific folder, use:
tar -xzf archive.tar.gz -C ~/dest/
Hope that helps.

Subject: [BackupPC-users] Newbie... How do I restore a file directly from
the terminal (bz2, gz tar.gz, or ????), Not from webgui?
Hello and thanks for a nice program. I like the design of backuppc there fore I
decided to try it out.
Backups aren't any good unless it's possible to extract data from it some late
night when everything goes bad. I have no problem to restore from the user
interface. But how do I do if I just have the hard drive (I use an own hd for
my topdir) and put it into a other pc?
I'm new to linux so I really would like to what to write in the terminal. Whit
no compression It's simple I'll just use the file browser... but when I'll use
compression the file is in some kind of binary format. (bz2, gz tar.gz, or
????) an example would be so nice! I have search the documentation but i
couldn't find it the. I have search on the net after an example with no
success..) I'll think It would be great if it was possible to find this
information i the documentation.
Whit out this info It's feels scary to me to use it.
Best Regards and thanks in advance!
/Johan
