We are using rdiff-backup command to make incremental backups.My question is that how to view the files in a particular backup i.e, .gz file

Also how to recover all the files in a particular gz file

  • Your terminology is slightly confusing. It suggests that `rdiff-backup` is incrementally producing `.gz` files. Is this really what you mean, or do you have a `.gz` file spread across your backups? – Dan Carley Jun 15 '10 at 09:56
  • rdiff-backup is incrementally producing .gz files so in these gz files i need to see the contents of it – Hulk Jun 15 '10 at 11:04
  • These .gz files contains reverse diff, which are seldom particular useful by themselves. If you elaborate on what problem you are trying to solve, or the end goal is, perhaps I can give you a better answer? – andol Jul 02 '10 at 16:53
  • @andol : So i have backup .gz files for 15 days.is there a way to view the files contained in .gz file – Hulk Jul 06 '10 at 05:45
  • Sure, you can just run gunzip on those files, like on any other .gz files. But as I said, I am not sure if you will find the content very useful. – andol Jul 09 '10 at 23:18
  • K.What is the command to restore all files in one .gz file using rdiff-backup command.Your comments have been very useful. Thanks.. – Hulk Jul 10 '10 at 06:58

Check the rdiff-backup examples page - one of these should (hopefully) match your particular backup situation/scenario.
