Hi Roberto, if this is only a .tar.gz file, you can unpack it easily: <snip> username@host# tar -xvzf file.tar.gz -C /destination/folder </snap> Rgds, Tim <div class="gmail_quote"> 2011/7/12 roberto <<a href="mailto:roberto03@gmail.com">roberto03@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hello, i did a backup of my home data when i was using debian and backup2l utility. Now i'd like to restore everything onto my new laptop with ubuntu 11.04. Is it possible ? I think ubuntu can properly restore data from that standard format (.tar.gz).
