Hi,

Actually when i made the archive, backuppc create 9 file with the extention .tar.gz. What i want is 9 directory, with each directory the archived file decompressed.

I would like if i need a recovery, i can plug the usb drive and navigate to the different file without to have to uncompress the archive, and unpack a file.

More, the usb drive is relatively slow, and instead of copy each file, at each archive, i would like synchronize the last backup with the content of the usb drive (like a rsync).

I have think about a rsync between the last backup of backuppc and the usbdrive, but the problem is the compressed format of some file, and the 'f' added to each file.

Is it possible to ask to backuppc to restore the last backup of a computer on a given directory ?

Thanks,

    Hi,

    I use backuppc version 4, and i'm very happy. It is the best tool
    i use to make my backup.

    To archive the last backup of each host, i would like to copy the
    last extracted version of each host to a usb drive without using
    tar. I would like on the usb drive (to restore easily a file if
    necessary) that the drive can be used even without backuppc with
    for each host the directory structure and all the uncompressed files.

    Actually for archiving, only a tar (compressed or not) can be used.

    Is it possible ? Somebody have already made a similar things ? Is
    this option can be added to backuppc ?

    Thanks

I suspect you may get a better response, if you can clarify what you mean by “without using tar” but “only a tar (compressed or not) can be used.”

I'm interpreting this to mean that you'd use the archive feature of backuppc, except that you don't want the USB drive to be in the tar format, for some reason.

So, the obvious question is, why not just extract the tar to the USB drive each time if this is what you want?
