I made a tar back up of a 'Previous System Folder' that I wanted to save when I did an 'archive and install' on my Mac OS 10.4.8.
Upon decompress to check if it compressed all my files, Time Remaining: is about 45,000 hrs and counting. Wow, did I do something wrong?
EDIT: Wow, 48,000 hrs and counting to decompress! This is INSANE dude!
EDIT: 55,000 hrs and counting.
