SuSE8.0 Yast2 Backup


Hi All,

Has anyone used the SuSE 8.0 YaST2 backup utility? I have used it in June. It did a bueatiful job in backing up my system and making 3 CDs of tar files. But how can I use these CDs to "restore" my system? tar xvfM does not work. I'm asked to provide Volume 2 of the Yast2 backup, I always have it availible, I have even tried to transfer all three tars to my HDD to untar it, but it does not want to open them all? Is there another Yast2 utility I I need to use?

Thanks,

Erik
