I am having a similar problem restoring a backup from one DA server to another as describe here:
http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20814
Restoring the backup at reseller level I am pulling the file from the other server directly.
I get this error on tyring to restore:
Unable to extract the directory 'backup' from the file /home/tmp/host15/dauser48.tar.gz
I have downloaded the tar.gz file and unpacked it manually and it looks fine.
When I try to unpack the file on the server itself to a scratch directory "unpack" I get this:
[root@server2 user_backups]# tar xzfp dauser48.tar.gz -C unpack
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.dev'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.ino'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword `SCHILY.nlink'
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
If I create the user concerned manually on the new server then backup and restore it works fine so I am wondering if I've got a problem here with different environments. Still its only a tar file so I can't understand why it wont unpack on the server itself.
Diskspace on the new server is plentiful.
The same tar.gz file will restore without problems to the server it was made on.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
