TAR
#The TAR integration enables importing TAR archives into a Kloset store. File contents, directory structure, and metadata are preserved during import, making it useful for ingesting legacy backups and exported application data into Plakar for versioned tracking and deduplication.
Both uncompressed .tar and gzip-compressed .tar.gz / .tgz archives are
supported.
The TAR integration provides one connector:
| Connector type | Description |
|---|---|
| Source connector | Import a TAR archive into a Kloset store. |
Installation
#The TAR integration is built into Plakar and requires no additional package installation.
Configuration
#| Option | Description |
|---|---|
location |
Required. Path to the TAR archive file. |
Source connector
#The source connector streams a TAR archive into a Kloset store, capturing file contents, directory structure, and metadata with encryption and deduplication.
The archive format is specified via the URI scheme:
tar://— uncompressed TAR archivetgz://— gzip-compressed TAR archive
# Import an uncompressed archive
$ plakar at /var/backups backup tar:///home/user/backup.tar
# Import a gzip-compressed archive
$ plakar at /var/backups backup tgz:///home/user/backup.tar.gz
