Hi Paul, [...]
so I am using tar -xvzf /mnt/BACKUP/file.tar.gz to extract the file.
But I keep getting the following error before extraction completes:
gzip: stdin: Input/output error tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
The odd thing is it isn't happening on one file, it happens on a different one every time (but never gets to the end).
How can I recover the data in this tar file? Is there a way to ignore this error and continue anyway?
you could try to unzip it first to a pure tar file. Besides that, http://www.gzip.org/recover.txt gives a few hints how to handle corrupt gzip files.
It is quite important to get this data back so I would really appreciate some help.
