home/joe/Documents/Restored_Files/home/joe/DocumentsI would like to restore without full path as below: Code:
/home/joe/Documents/Restored_Files/Documentscan you help me? |
giobaxx,
If you just want to avoid having the home directory in the path, you can manually cd into the home directory, before running tar; then instead of using for example /home/joe in the tar command, use the "period" character, like this: Code:
cd /home/joe |
