At work, our server guy (let’s call him Steve) has to sometimes extract Plesk backups to retrieve old files for clients. I can’t help but notice that Steve gets sad whenever he has to do that – it turns out, it’s kind of a bitch.
Sure, he could upload the backup from our Samba share to one of the RedHat servers, do some greping, tailing, heading and piping to a file (*cough*) – but is it worth his time? Some of these backups are 3GB+ and it takes a few hours just to upload one.
I was surprised there’s no easy way of doing this on Windows, short of using cygwin. I whipped up a tool in C# to do exactly that. On Windows. With a GUI. For Steve.
