Restoring sub folders is a multi-step process.
- Pull back the
DONT_DELETE.txt
files - (optionally) pull back the folder with big files if archived with
--size <size>
- Find the needed tars with:
unarchivetar --prefix my-prefix --which-archive --folder "exactfolder/subfolder"
- Recall the required tars returned by the prior command
- Expand:
unarchivetar --prefix my-prefix --folder "exactfolder/subfolder"
Folder names must be exact and not have a trailing /
. You can optionally use grep
and look around the index
and DONT_DELETE
files yourself if unsure of the exact name.
