First code example |
The tar example on the command line
tar xzf dd_rescue-1.0.3.tar.gz dd_rescue
extracts the full dd_rescue directory, not just the binary. The command should be:
tar xzf dd_rescue-1.0.3.tar.gz dd_rescue/dd_rescue
in which case the rest of the steps are correct.

The code example in the middle of page 190 (Hack 60):
ssh username@192.168.0.2 .cat > /home/username/etc.tar.gz. | sudo tar xvfz -
should read:
ssh username@192.168.0.2 .cat /home/username/etc.tar.gz. | sudo tar xvfz -
That is, when doing the restore there should be no > sign. Using > overwrites
that backup that was created earlier with an empty file. When using no >,
the tarball is catted to tar.
