Dear Carl,

Thank you very much for your reply that clarified the situation.

Yes, pc and pool folders are missing due to for me unknown reason.

I've written a small script that unpacks the files through zlib and maps them to description that "file" unix command can deliver.

That way I could sort out Word Documents and PDF files out there and required documents were found.

Problem solved for now.

Thanks!

What is the easiest way (if any :-) to extract browsable filestructure
out of this?


So there's no 'pc' directory with trees of directories, one for each machine
which has been backed up?

The pc/ directory tree stores the mappings of what file goes to where on what machine. The cpool/ directory tree stores the data according to hashed names which are used for deduplication, and while files are symlinked from
one to the other, you need both in order to figure out what goes where.

(There may be a pool/ directory as well, which stores the data in the same
way as cpool/, but in uncompressed format).

Without the pc/ directory you're in trouble.
