[cobalt-developers] restore problem on RAQ3

[Tim Ferguson <tim@xxxxxxxx>]

We have been doing backups of a Cobalt Raq3. (Approx 120 domains)
via the GUI and then ftp'ing them to another location to write to tape.
I have ran several tests restoring data when the backups where small
and never had any problems. Recently there was a need to restore
one domain and this is seeming more and more impossible to do.

The following has been attempted and failed.

Attempted a selective restore from the GUI
Ftp'd backup file to admin directory and attempted a selective
restore .
I have attempted to run a perl script that is suppose to strip the
headers in the backup and make it a normal tar file. This script
does not seem to work correctly leaving a file of out.tar.gz that
is empty
I would appreciate any assistance or experiences anyone may have
had attempting to restore an 800 plus mb backup on a cobalt.
This is really starting to concern me. I have several cobalts running
100 plus domains on them and am worried that the back ups
may not be worth much if a problem occurs in regards to data lose.

Thank you in advance for your time.
