Re: [cobalt-security] Qube 2 OSUpdate 3.0

["Soler Bosch, Oriol" <oriol@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

try this as it worked for me, because the file is just a tar archive so you
can restore your backup striping the header code of Cobalt. just create a
file called stripheader.pl (with joe, vi, pico, wathever you use) from yer
shell and give execute permisions to the file and after that use
./stripheader.pl nameofthebackupyouwannarestore.qub

code inside the file:
#start of file
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Jeff Bilicki <jeffb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
# removes the header out of a Qube 2 and RaQ 2 backup file

use strict;

my ($infile);
my ($outfile) = "out.tar.gz";
my ($end) = "\%\%END_INDEX";
my ($begin) = "\%\%BACKUP_HEADER";

if (@ARGV) {
$infile = $ARGV[0];
} else {
print "usage: stripheader.pl <file name>\n";
exit 1;
}

open (INFILE, $infile) or die "Can't open: $!\n";
open (OUTFILE, ">$outfile") or die "Can't open $!\n";

while (<INFILE>) {
if ( /^$begin/ ... /^$end/ ) {
next;
} else {
print OUTFILE $_;
}
}
close(INFILE);
close(OUTFILE);
exit 0;
#EOF!

good luck!
