80GB tarball corrupt
I have recently upgraded the OS on my Laptop. To do so, I backed up the entire hard drive to a tarball on the network. I used something like this:
Code:
tar -cvf /mnt/RemoteSambaShare/hdd.tar.gz -z /mnt/sda1/* When I try to extract this archive, it gets stuck at approximately 12GB. I tried extracting with WinRAR, Universal Extractor, 7z, gzip followed by tar, and tar -z. Is there something that I am/was doing wrong? Is there some way to also extract the data AFTER the bad part? (The data before 12GB is unfortunately only the recycle bin and a 9gb iso, which I intended to delete anyway.) Kind regards fmr |
Is this any help?

I managed to get the most of my files (without directory structure :( ) back by running "Active File Recovery" on the drive. PS: For future reference, one needs to use Code:
cpio -idv < archive name |
