Extract Content from Backup Files

[John Langlois]

I have traditionally used the Legacy backups on WHM.
I recently decided to try the newer system.
The files that are created appear to need some program to extract them, other than just 7Zip.

Can the newer back-up system only restore to a WHM server?
If so, can I specify where the backup goes?
I would like to use the backup to move a site.

Also, if I wanted to extract the backup to my Xampp testing server, is there a way to do that?
Thank you.

Hello

Are you attempting to restore the files via the server's command line, or on your local workstation? The "tar" command will allow you to manually extract the archive.

Thank you.
