"The JoomlaPack UnJPA is a command-line script"

I've never had to use a command line script before. I have been using JoomlaPack to backup my site. I had a db file corruption and when I tried to reinstall a backup the only one that would work was 11 days old.

I was able to get most of the data back bc I SQL'd the db before the reinstall. But I need to get some of the files, like people's profile picture and such, out of the .jpa file. Apparently the only way to do it is with your command-line script.

Your instructions say to use it by command-line but not what that is or how to use it.

Please point me to these instructions. I've spent over 24hr trying to figure this out on my own. It really should be easier for someone new to this to get this information.

The unjpa.php script would work from a "DOS prompt". It requires php and the php command line module to be installed on your local computer.

The eXtract program from the Native Tools collection may be a better choice to extract your archive. It is self contained, it doesn't require php to be installed, it is also a GUI (visual) program, which most people find easier to use.

There are two versions of Native Tools, one is just the program files, the other also includes a Windows installer program. You just load eXtract and fill in the blanks. :D
