Thanks Adam - That does work for individual files. I would prefer to be able to restore the full subdirectory tree (taking into account the full/incremental backups) Is there a script which can scan the filesystem, and generate the correct backuppc indexes, or create an archive of the files. I have tried BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary, which says nothing changed, and BackupPC_tarCreate, which does not include the required directory. I have just noticed that the directory exists in all backups except the most recent incremental: find . -type d -name "fBel's Documents" ./93/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments ./98/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments ./102/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments ./100/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments ./101/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments ./97/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments ./99/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments 103 is my latest incremental backup... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
