tar cvzf rescue.tgz /directory/one /directory/two
.... and it made it. Might it have to do somwthing with the fact that
the file now rests in an ext2 partitio and before it rested on a
ReiserFS partition? I mean, I tried ftp'ing into the machine (no jokes,
please) and the file wouldnot even SHOW UP with ncftp. I would try "get
*" and it would just complain that the OS said "NO! You can't have it!"
I'm starting to think that just MAYBE all this info is lost. Nothincg
critical, per se, but... well, it certainly teaches me a lesson about
making backups.
Thanks for the tip. I'm trying it out now.
