    Backup in tar.gz

    Hi everybody,

    In the old cPanel we could download a full back of our website in a .zip file format and open it without any problem.

    The new "cPanel Accelerated" the backup is automatically generated in a "tar.gz" gzip file extension.

    I found the following on how to open a tar.gz file but I dont understand it?

    Can sombody point me in the right direction on how to open a tar.gz file extension.


    Unpacking .tar.gz files

    First, ensure that you have a shell running in the same directory as the downloaded file. (Mac OS X users: a shell window can be created by launching the Terminal application from Applications->Utilities. You will then have to use the cd command to navigate to the appropriate directory.) To unpack a .tar.gz file, say, foo.tar.gz, use the following command:
    gunzip -c foo.tar.gz | tar xopf -
    The newly extracted files will be created in the current directory. If you also wish to see a list of the files as they are extracted, instead use the command
    gunzip -c foo.tar.gz | tar xopft -
    Unpacking .tar files

    First, ensure that you have a shell running in the same directory as the downloaded file. (Mac OS X users: a shell window can be created by launching the Terminal application from Applications->Utilities. You will then have to use the cd command to navigate to the appropriate directory.) To unpack a .tar file, say, foo.tar, use the following command:
    tar xopf foo.tar
    The newly extracted files will be created in the current directory. If you also wish to see a list of the files as they are extracted, instead use the command
    tar xopft foo.tar

    Most zip applications will open it...but you usually unzip it on the server.
