Backuppc_tarCreate needs a '-s sharename' option which would be the share you used for the backup (maybe '/') and you can specify a list of files or directories to restore. You can also use '-l' to just list the files. I'd try that first - and maybe restore a small directory like /etc or a single file first to see if you are on the right track. I'm retired and a little fuzzy on this myself. Also, is the drive mounted as /mnt or something under /mnt? I'd cd into the top of that mount point to run the command instead of using -C. Also tar needs a '-' after the f option to tell it to read stdin. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
