Hi, I backed up my wife's home directory using tar in preparation to moving her to a new machine but I don't remember the exact command I used to do the tar command. When I tried to untar on the new machine it failed to do anything. (except use 30 minutes of CPU time...)
MacMini home # tar -xjf /mnt/cdrom/evelyn.20100214.tar.bz2 /home/evelyn/ tar: /home/evelyn: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors MacMini home # I'm currently running tar -tz /mnt/cdrom/evelyn.20100214.tar.bz2 and it's been going 15 minutes without writing anything to the screen. I assume that I need to list the contents of the tar file to figure out how to untar but I'm really not sure. How do I best proceed? Thanks, Mark
