Question

linux

Hello. I unpack the folder from the archive with the command

tar -xfp --acls /backup/user/archive.tar.gz /important -C /home/user/important

The path to the contents of the unzipped folder will be /home/user/important or /home/user/important/important ?

Answer 1

/home/user/important/important
But you forgot to ask "why".
