Corrupted backup.tar file

From $1

Table of contents

 

eWON allows to generate TAR files to archive different data or files into one single file.

Standard TAR files can be opened by most of the packager programs like Winzip, WinRar.

Due to technical reasons, the eWON produces a special  "eTAR" format when the package holds file(s) belonging to the eWON root directory, as for ex. the comcfg.txt, config.txt files.

This eTAR file is viewed as a "corrupted file" by the packager programs.
But, you can use our eTar.exe tool to reformat this eTAR as a valid TAR file.

The eTar.exe program can be downloaded here: etar.zip

To transform the backup.tar file into a classical TAR format use following DOS command:
etar D:\temp\backup.tar D:\temp\backup1.tar

The backup1.tar file will know have a valid Tar format.
