It really depends what is inside your tar.gz file?  What exactly are you trying to do?

Hello Howard,

For reasons beyond my control, inodes, I've had to reinstall moodle again. I've installed moodle and now want to reinstall the site and the courses that were on it. They are backed up in the tar.gz files, I think?

Doesn't really help... I'll try another approach.... who made these files and how?

I'd just be guessing what they might be... a backup of your moodledata area? Your database dump zipped? Moodle's own course backup files? Who knows?

Sorry Howard,

They are backups that were made on / taken from my moodle site.

I give up....

"I have some boxes... they have stuff in them from my house"

Saying "I have a .tar.gz file" is only a tiny, tiny step away from saying "I have a file". If you can't tell me what the file is then we can't help.
