How to "Restore" a "Backup" tar.gz file to "Basket Note Pads" on another Linux Desktop?

Asked by John Meaders

After backing up my Notes, I'm attempting to have the exact same information on another desktop with "Basket Note Pads" running with Ubuntu 22.04 OS. I place the backup file in the .local/.share/basket folder and add "tar.gz" to the end to extract the info. The information extracts but the information doesn't appear when I open Basket Note Pads. I was hoping that I would have a mirror image of my main computer's "Basket Note Pads" program.

No, this is not an answer. It's a link to a game ( **Swordigo 2 Mod Apk)**
with no instructions for anything else other than the game mentioned. Perhaps
Ali Sheikh entered this link in error. I do thank him for his effort but maybe
he can provide the correct link he was meaning to send as help in this matter.

1. Ignore ali shekh's comment. This is just a spam message; unfortunately there are frequent nonsense messages like that. It's going to be deleted soon.

2. Can you list the contents of the backup file, e.g. with a command like

tar tzf basket.tar.gz

to verify that the contents are what you expect, e.g. whether they contain directory names or not.

You will need to be more specific in the command. The command you gave
produces this:

tar (child): basket.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory

tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

tar: Child returned status 2

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

What directory or where do I run this command: (tar tzf basket.tar.gz)?

Thanks for attempting to solve this issue.

What is the name of the backup tar.gz file?
In which directory did you store it?

Its name is: Baskets_2022-05-05 (which is just the date of the backup of the
"Baskets") Basket Note Pads produces a "Backup" file without the "tar.gz" on
the end. I add it to the end to be able to use my system extraction program. I
store it in my home directory and then move it to "Basket Note Pads"
directory: ".local/share/baskets" where I extract its information hoping It
would just replace the old.

Thanks for the attention you're giving to the problem.

Thanks your attempted assisted but it will no longer be needed. A computer
buddy of mine came by yesterday and fixed it for me. A simple matter of
opening the "Backup file" in the correct folder.

Thank you all for attempting to assist me but further help is not needed. A computer expert buddy of mine came by yesterday and fixed it for me. A simple matter of opening (extracting) the Basket Note Pads' "Backup file" in the correct folder and then link to its "Basket" with the "Use Another Existing Folder..." button located on "Backup & Restore-BasKet Note Pads".
