The untarred files are HTML files.
The .tar file containing all the web files was originally created by a cron
job :
-----------------------
if [ $DOW = "Sun" ]
then
NOW=`date +%d-%b`
# Update full backup date
tar --preserve -cf $BACKUPDIR/$COMPUTER-$DOW.tar $DIRECTORIES
else
# Daily incremental backup - overwrite last weeks of same day
tar $NEWER --preserve -cf $BACKUPDIR/$COMPUTER-$DOW.tar $DIRECTORIES
fi
-------------------------------------
You end up with a name like "myhost-Wed.tar"
All I did was tarred it on the old system (rhel3) and untarred it to the new
system (rhel5)
