Checking your backup is correct before rebooting
Warning
I am a TC newbie, and for brevity have removed home/tc from my backup to keep it short.
I am right handed, reverse instruction to RH click to LH if you are left handed please.
Suggest you put a copy of mydata.tgz onto an USB stick or cdrw or upload it to a host site
Let us pretend you have made a change to a system file, click on cpanel and clicked on backup….to backup the correct device. Do not click logout and try backup there, in case your file is not backed up.
Where is your backup file?
sudo find / -name mydata* /mnt/sda2/tce/mydata.tgz
Using commands to explore your backup.
Change sda2 to whatever your result is in the below steps please.
The steps
mkdir mydata cp /mnt/sda2/tce/mydata.tgz /home/tc/mydata cd mydata tar zxvf mydata.tgz ---> (result was) etc/cups/ppd/ etc/cups/ppd/110.ppd etc/cups/printers.conf etc/shadow opt/.xfiletool.lst opt/.filetool.lst opt/tcemirror opt/backgrounds/ opt/shutdown.sh opt/bootlocal.sh
If files do not appear in result, fix it before rebooting please.
Using MC file manager to explore backup
Consider installing mc.tcz (and its dependencies)
Open a terminal and run the command mc
At bottom of screen type the command to get you to your data file (for me its)
cd /mnt/sda2/tce
Arrow down to mydata.tgz
Press F3 buttton to view it, and F3 to exit that view.
Using LXDE file manager to explore backup
Suggest you pulldown “File” and create new folder called (anything) I chose extract
Navigate to /mnt/sda2/tce (or where ever)
Bookmark it
Right hand click mydata.tgz and select “extract to”
Choose /home/tc/extract
Navigate to /home/tc/extract and bookmark it
Click into it to view results
<hr>
Another quickie.
I check by doing
sudo tar tzf /mnt/hda1/tce/mydata.tgz | less
then to save it I email myself attaching mydata.tgz.
