Hi all,

I've got a VM LXC in *.tar.lzo format backup. I want to extract a particular domain/files from it.
Is there somehow a way to extract the whole contents in the normal filesystem and then look for those I want?

An alternative will be to restore the whole VM but with a different id as the existing one I don't want to overwrite.

Any help is much appreciated.
 
yes, just use tar
