sudo gainroot
tar -xf data.tar -C /

Thanks all. I'm trying one method at a time though I can't get past the last line of code in this. I get the following error:

Code:

tar: can't open 'data.tar': No such file or directory

This is after I ran:

Code:

7z x backupmenu_0.52-1_all.deb

and have two new files in my directory:

control.tar.gz
data.tar.gz

Is there something I'm doing wrong?
