UNIX - tar backup - restore files to a location different from original location
kkrishna021799 asked on
I backed up some files using tar from directory /usr1/ibs2/inps. I wish to restore them to another directory say /usr2/ibs2/inps.
I cannot restore them to /usr1/ibs2/inps and later move them to the desired location as the former location contain live data and these cannot be overwritten.
