I can't restore from backup

[njumara]

Hi,

I am getting this message from my only backup. Am I totally screwed?



Cannot Execute Your Request

Details

File is not of type tar.gz: gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error /bin/tar: Child returned status 1 /bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


As a side note, is it really necessary to have this random question everytime I want to do something? I'm signed up, I'm logged in, I'm a real person who really needs help. What I don't need is to answering some ******* ******* question.

Also, great forum. Thanks for being you.

Your tar is corrupt if you got that error. You will probably have to reupload it or recreate it. You could try to untar it in ssh to see if it works or not.

Not sure what question your talking about. Never saw that in my life.

You should create some more useful posts here on the forums, to get rid of those random questions.

Yes, because spammers also sign up and log in. Requiring the random question saves those of us who moderate a lot of time and work; before tightening up security on the forum we had many spam reports every day; now there are very few.

Now that I know you're a real person I've upgraded your registration from Registered to Verified. Normally it takes a lot more than one post before we do that.

You probably won't be bothered by the questions any longer.
