    Problemwith restoring using dar

    I am trying out dar archiver for the first time. I created a backup of one partition in Kubuntu 7.10 and am trying to restore it to another partition. Here is the error message I get:
    albert@ALBERT-desktop:~$ sudo dar -x /media/sda9/home.1 /media/sda10
    [sudo] password for albert:
    Parse error on command line (or included files): Unknown argument : /media/sda10
    Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Re: Problemwith restoring using dar

    SOLVED. From a linuxquestions response, the following did the trick:

    Code:

    sudo dar -x /media/sda9/home.1 -R /media/sda10

    maybe?

    the -R option tells it where to start unpacking - if it is not given, the current directory is used.
    Theoretically you could cd /media/sda10
    and then dar -x /media/sda9/home.1
    and would not need -R
