Backups Fails

[hostpc.com]

I'm having a probelm getting my backup to restore to the new server

The backup goes fine .. no errors .. but when I try to restore I get this error

Unable to extract the directory backup from the file /home/USERNAME/backups/backup-Jun-28-2004-1.tar.gz


i have shelled in and extracted the file .. goes fine .. but it still wont restore

RedHat 9 ..

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Hmm.. it runs this:

tar xzfp /path/to/back.tar.gz -C /home/username/backups backup

Which means it tries to get the "backup" directory out of the tar.gz file and puts it in /home/username/backups/backup

Maybe DA was unable to create the "backup" directory. Check the system quotas to see if it's close.
