I use this in a shell script (where of course $HOST and $SHARE are
defined):
cd /mnt/external_hd
sudo -u backuppc /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -n -1 -h
$HOST -s $SHARE / | tar xf -
where $SHARE is the name of the share exactly as it appears in the
host's configuration file, in the $Conf{TarShareName},
$Conf{RsyncShareName} or $Conf{SmbShareName} variable.
In fact, don't see $SHARE as an actual directory but as a "root" or
"mount point" instead.
And in my example, the trailing / is a directory and means "top
directory relative to $SHARE".
So, if you have:
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/'];
To extract /etc, you need to execute:
BackupPC_tarCreate -n -1 -h $HOST -s '/' /etc | > /mnt/server/restore/
restore.etc.tar
And if you have:
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/etc'];
To extract /etc, you need to execute:
BackupPC_tarCreate -n -1 -h $HOST -s '/etc' / | > /mnt/server/restore/
restore.etc.tar
I don't use tar, so I must be wrong but this is how I see it.
