Re: [cobalt-security] Help needed! Anyone restore raq4 from backup file before?

There is a file available called "stripheader". It takes the *.raq file and 
transforms it back into a *.tar.gz file.

With that you can take your *.raq file apart to see if the file itself is 
corrupted or not. If it is not corrupted, then you might be able to rescue 
some or all data contained in the *.tar.gz file which stripheader generates 
from your *.raq file.

This script is available from a couple of RaQ related download pages, 
including the URL below:

Ideally one does not rely on the built in backup solutions - at all - as they 
are all more or less crap. Most people use RaQbackup.sh which is available 
here:
