Re: [cobalt-users] EXTRACTING from backup files - HELP

[Malcolm McLeary <mmcleary@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark,

What info are you after?

I'm not a guru at this stuff, but I once had to recover a file from a backup
file a Qube2 wrote via SMB to an NT Workstation.

What I did was transfer the backup file back to a Qube and pre-process it
with a small script to remove the Cobalt header text.  I then pulled it back
to my Mac and used UnStuffit Deluxe to unpack the backup so I could get the
file I needed to recover.

These days I use Retrospect to backup the SMB and Netatalk shares / volumes
depending on what client workstations the client uses with their Qube.

This strategy only works with the SMB and Netatalk data, but I believe Dantz
are working on a Linux Client so then the whole Qube can be "protected".

In my limited experience, Legato and Arkeia are not applicable / appropriate
for typical Qube2 owners ... Retrospect is.

Cheers,  Malcolm
