Title: Question Regarding Cacko Backup Files
Post by: dougeeebear on October 06, 2006, 06:35:35 pm

With the standard default sharp rom backups, I am able to open them with 7-zip and extract and manipulate files.

With the cacko rom backups, 7-zip tells me that the backup is not a supported archive.

This is strange, because the backup/restore programs appear to be the same in both roms.

I really like the idea of being able to work with the backups.
Sometimes it gets me out of a real mess.

Would anyone have any ideas on this?

Well, so far I've tried 7-Zip, WinZip and WinRar and none of them will open the cacko backup files.
Any other ideas anyone?

maybe your backup is corrupted. its just a tar file


you can do

# tar tvf backupfile

I just opened one of my cacko backups with winrar.
I didn't know that these would open with winrar, that's cool.
The filename is "2006-07-21-19-52.backup_SLC3100-JP-1"
I had to open winrar first, then locate the file, since it doesn't have an extension.

Yup, Winrar does open them if I do it right.

Thanks Jon

Too bad winrar wouldn't run on the zaurus.
That sure would be neat.

that would be zrar instead of winrar
but seriously, there is a GTK GUI (X11 required) which can act as a frontend to unzip, unrar, etc... on the Zaurus. You just need to run pdaXrom  no qte version of it yet...
