tar premission denied

[john korterman · Accepted solution]

Hi again fortheppl,

The permission problem can be overcome by excuting the extraction as root.
If you do not want the files to be restored with absolute path, extract them like this:

(Assuming the two files are the same directory.)
Cd to the directory where the files are located
$ tar -cvf /dev/tape/tape14c ./IN_CDRP_46_1-17_CT_SEP2007.dmp.gz ./IN_CDRP_46_1-17_CT_SEP2007.log


On the target machine:
Cd to the directory where the files should be put
As user=root
$ tar -xvf dev/tape/tape14c ./IN_CDRP_46_1-17_CT_SEP2007.dmp.gz ./IN_CDRP_46_1-17_CT_SEP2007.log

This also assume that the tape devices are identical on both machines.

John K.
