## How to extract .zstd file

Follow the instructions below or use WinRAR 6.10 or later to unpack .zst files.

### How to extract the domain\_data.tar.zst in windows using zstd.exe

1. Download and unzip zstd.exe. It is available on the [zstd GitHub](https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/).
2. To decompress the backup, use the following command:

batch

```auto
{dir_to_zstd}\zstd.exe -o {dir_to_file}\{file}.tar.zst

```

For example:

batch

```auto
C:\Users\{user}\Downloads\zstd-v1.4.4-win64\zstd.exe -d c:\Users\{user}\Downloads\admin.2021-06-27_05-48-23\web\{domain}\domain_data.tar.zst

```

Output:

batch

```auto
C:\Users\{user}\Downloads\admin.2021-06-27_05-48-23\web\{domain}\domain_data.tar.zst: 61440 bytes

```

1. Use your preferred program to untar the resulting tarball, and you are done. In this case, the tar was outputted to:

batch

```auto
C:\Users\{user}\Downloads\admin.2021-06-27_05-48-23\web\{domain}\domain_data.tar

```
