Hi there,

Is it possible to do a conditional restore? Something like:

Only restore files which are the same date (mtime?) and the hashes don't
match.

Thoughts?

Assuming that it's worth recovering the data, the data presumably must
have some value.  In your situation I'd be reluctant to do anything
like that to valuable data, since I might unnecessarily be overwriting
it with something old or even corrupt.  I think I'd restore my backup
to a scratch partition, then use something like 'rsync --dry-run' to
show me the differences.

OTOH I run two backup servers, so the situation is most unlikely here.
Consider that a hint. :)
