I need an assistance. not very much expert in Linux
i decided to upgrade from Ubunut 10.04 to 12.04, so i did backup of all
data.
for evolution i used the evolution backup menu file size is 8.8GB named
(evolution-backup.tar.gz)
i used to do backup before and during restore all goes well... it was always
the best restore
So i formatter the HDD, and installed new 12.04
During the restore of data with evolution menu, an error shows "Please
select a valid backup file to restore."
I tried to do several methods
- copy from USB to internal HDD and restore again ... same error
- change the backup file extension from .tar.gz to .tar ... same error
- use command: tar -xvf evolution-backup.tar .. it shows new error
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Finally, i used Windows WinRAR.. and i could able to see the files &
folders.
i did recover / copy the files, some error shows, but it's ok.. main files
are recovered as what i see..
Now, I'm trying to copy these files back to Evolution on Ubunut 12.04 what
is the best and safest method.
please note, i'm not beginner with ubunut, and need help, please.
khd
