If know compression mode in which it has been compressed then rename this file.

# mv alldump alldump.tar.gz
# tar -xvf alldump.tar.gz

If you don't know the compression mode then you may follow hit-n-trial

This might just be a gz or zip file. Try renaming to those suffix and
try again. Sometimes opening a binary file with a binary reader will
tell you within the first few lines what kind of a file it is.

# mv alldump.tar.gz alldump
# file alldump

Above line should tell you about about this file.

e.g.  bzip2 compressed data or gzip compressed data or something else.

I mean, issue: "man tar"
on terminal.

Its look like that your tarball is not properly created. Try again?

>> # file alldump

What is result of above command?

[ElectroMech]

Can you create one more file for test , a very small file.

and send it to group some body will try and let you know.

It may possible that your file call alldump is corrupted or damaged or terminated in between at the time of creation and you are wasting your time.

A curious observation: Why all of your question are so urgent? ;)

Use search engine in that case sometime...

I think your file is damaged may be you need some tool to repair the file.

I read your first mail as it is backup of 750 domain, but as it is not behave like normal tar archive. It might be damaged. ( which is rare case ).

try tar repair software.

http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Best/tar-repair-free.html

all though it is not free but you can use trail version for just test whether your tar is ok or you can get data from this.

[anil]

linux .with alldumo file name and client is asking that get this file
