Question:
I got a backup file with an extension .tgz - what is that and how do I open it?Answer:
A *.tgz file is a gnu-zipped .tar file.You can use gunzip to unpack it and afterwards tar to untar it.
You can unpack it with this command - insert your .tgz file for SAMPLE:
 |  | |
// 2 steps gunzip -c SAMPLE.tgz tar tf SAMPLE.tar // now you should have a folder SAMPLE with your files // or, using a pipe: gunzip -c SAMPLE.tgz | tar tf - | ||
