Is it possible to do an rsync restore from the command line using BackupPC_restore? If so, it's not clear from the (limited) documentation how to use it. For example, how do you specify the desired backup number, share, paths, etc.
Alternatively, is there an rsync analog of BackupPC_tarCreate? Said another way, rather than first creating a tar file via BackupPC_tarCreate and then untarring (or piping through tar), is there a way to hook directly into rsync to restore from the command line? This would have several advantages: 1. It would automatically incorporate the ssh and compression features to restore seamlessly, efficiently, and securely across platforms 2. It would allow for restoring special file types that tar doesn't support 3. It would be able to better and more exactly mirror the parameters given to Rsync dump (for example the same format of 'includes' and 'excludes' _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
