Re: [cobalt-users] help need to RESTORE BACKUP

[Nikolas Samios <ns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Steven,

I found the script. I don't know either where it's on the ftp-page, but I found
a mailing-list-post from August 1999 containing the script.

Hope it helps!

Bye,

Niko

If you run the following perl script against the tar it will strip out
the Cobalt specific headers and leave just the tar ball. I tried this
on a couple of backup files, it seem to work ok even though tar gave
errors on exit.

Jeff-



#!/usr/bin/perl
# Jeff Bilicki <jeffb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
# removes the header out of a Qube 2 and RaQ 2 backup file

use strict;

my ($infile);
my ($outfile) = "out.tar.gz";
my ($end) = "\%\%END_INDEX";
my ($begin) = "\%\%BACKUP_HEADER";

if (@ARGV) {
$infile = $ARGV[0];
} else {
print "usage: stripheader.pl <file name>\n";
exit 1;
}

open (INFILE, $infile) or die "Can't open: $!\n";
open (OUTFILE, ">$outfile") or die "Can't open $!\n";

while (<INFILE>) {
if ( /^$begin/ ... /^$end/ ) {
next;
} else {
print OUTFILE $_;
}
}
close(INFILE);
close(OUTFILE);
exit 0;
