Quick question hopefully someone knows the answer as my knowledge of
tar-ing is pretty useless :-)
A guy I know has been using tar to dump a directory out to tape using
the command
Tar -cvf /dev/st1 ../internal.data
Now he needs to take the info back off the tape to a different directory
when he runs the command
Tar -xvf /dev/st1
He gets an error (not sure if this is exact) tar:../internal.data member
name contains ,..,
Anyone got any ideas?
Many thanks
Damien.
