I backed up my /home directory to backup.zip. Rather than pull everything out, right now I only want to pull out my /images folder. It's under /home/tom/images.

How, if I can, do this?

Thanks, Tom

If the directory is stored in the tar file as: home/tom/images you can extract the directory as follows: tar xf name-of-tar-file home/tom/images and that is all it will extract. Ken Schneider
