cPanel public_html backup extractor

gistfile1.sh

#!/bin/bash

#This script assumes that your cPanel backup tarball is in the same directory as your public_html folder
#It doesn't do any verification, and will just quit if something goes wrong (due to set -e). 
#Use at your own risk!

set -e
echo "Extracting Backup! If you dont see the message: All done!, then something has gone wrong."
cd $1
tar -xf back*
cd back*
tar -xf homedir.tar
cp -r public_html/* ../public_html/
echo "All done!"

I used it like this:

cat sites.txt|xargs -I {} ./putbackup.sh {}

Where sites.txt was a list of the domains I had backed up, which was held in a folder which also held folders named after each domain, which held the backup tarball and public_html folder.
