[06:32] Has anyone successfully restored a mythconverg_backup.pl ??.tgz file? I need to understand WHERE to run the restore program. I have tried from my home directory and in the /var/lib/mysql directory, and both tell me that they can't do it. While we're at it, should I be running it as me or root? [06:33] Sorry, running ubuntu 12.04 as the server. === James is now known as Guest60363 [08:44] Dont use MythTV on Ubuntu, it spies on you. You it on a different distro [11:48] Has anyone successfully restored a mythconverg_backup.pl ??.tgz file? I need to understand WHERE to run the restore program.
