I installed konserve while I was still using Kubuntu Gutsy 7.10. I made a backup of my home directory onto an external hard-drive. Then, because of issues with Kubuntu 64 bit and the flashplayer in konqueror, I decided to install just regular (not 64 bit) Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10 instead. I have tried to restore or untar my home backup file created in konserve, but it doesn't work. Tried to install konserve into Ubuntu to see if I needed konserve in order to restore my backup but that didn't work either. Can someone help me to get the backup tar untarred on my external drive or into my new home directory? The backup file is over 3 gigs in size compressed. My external drive is 160 gigs and mostly empty except for this file. There must be some trick or other to doing it. But nothing I've tried so far seems to work. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. (Just clicking on the file shows nothing in it with the archive program; but it's over 3 gigs in size.) Elswood |
