Re: Getting started with Tarsnap

Hi ,

I have a problem with restore a particular directory from tarsnap backup. Its taking too much time to restore a directory from archive backup.

Please Help me to resolve this.

My command is tarsnap -x -f backup backupPath

Please tell me the command for fast restore.

Thanks,

I don't recall for sure, but it's entirely likely that the cache
directory/files is not created until the first time you perform a
backup. It is a cache, after all, and there probably isn't anything
useful to put in there until tarsnap has done something.

Yes, tarsnap will create the cache directory automatically if it doesn't
already exist.
