Restoring from trash seems like a very poor and unreliable idea. Specifically, the purpose of moving old backups to the trash is to allow the background backupPC_trashClean process to recursively delete all the files and folders in the old backup. So there is no guarantee that your backup is at all intact and indeed if backuppc is working properly it probably already is missing some file trees. The longer the backup has been sitting in the trash, the more likely that it is thus corrupted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Write once.
