How to extract or convert backup to .dar extension?

Question

linux

Good afternoon!
On the old version of isp, the backups were in the dar format, but when it came time to restore, the dar backups were not restored using the panel tools, and different versions and panel converters were tried, as a result, everything was useless. Can anyone help me extract the files or ways to extract them?

Answer 1

Most likely it is a tar archive, possibly zipped. Try to see it with the command tar -tf my.dar
Also try the options -z or -J
Well, sure! http://doc.ispsystem.ru/index.php/Technical_cont...
tar -tzf mybackup.dar Andtar -xzf mybackup.dar

Answer 2

First you need to make sure that this is really a dar.
Files are usually named with the extension .1.dar, .2.dar, ...
It makes sense to check with the command
dar -t name-without .1.dar

If it's definitely not restored, then you can try contacting the author, Denis Corbin (French) via the mailing list.
I use this format regularly.
