Robin,
First, it's best to send questions to the general mail list, which I've
copied.
There are several alternatives for restoring files, depending on how your
installation is set up. There is a web interface that you should figure
out the URL for.
the location of the most current files is
> /d2/backuppc/pc/localhost/57/f%2fd1%2fdata/faccounting/fSTI
The simplest command-line method is using BackupPC_tarCreate, which based
on the path you gave should look like:
su backuppc
/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 57 -s /d1/data
/accounting/STI | tar -tvf -
This should create a tar archive of the backed up directory tree, and pipe
it into tar to list it out. If it looks correct, you can then replace the
"tar -tvf -" with "tar -xvf -" after cd'ing to the directory below which
you want the files extracted (you might need to do the first command as
root, and chown the directory to backuppc):
mkdir /d1/data/main/STI_recovery
cd /d1/data/main/STI_recovery
/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h localhost -n 57 -s /d1/data
/accounting/STI | tar -xvf -
This should put the recovered files in
/d1/data/main/STI_recovery/accounting/STI.
