Default Suse Backup

Hello,

I have used the SUSE backup in Yast. I now need to extract a couple files
from the last backup. How do I do this? I try to open it in a tar viewer
and it says it is a bad format. Thank you!

Default Re: Suse Backup

I got the same result, but was able to untar the backup file from a
terminal session. Say the file is backup.tar, then from the directory
it is in:

mkdir backup
chdir backup
tar -xvf ../backup.tar

This extracted a slew of *.tar.gz files which I was able to access from
a GUI file manager (Konqueror in my case).
