the documentation says to replace abe with abp , but since .ab files get emitted by the backup tool, not TAR files, which abp wants. The new abp tool will not ingest these.ab files, so this tool looks like it's just undocumented in a way that cannot serve it's purpose. Are there alternative updated tools that dont require large downloads and other setting up for simple scripted .ab extractions?
