Just a guess, but I believe it's saying you didn't compress the backup, and the files are still in their original format (as opposed to being stuffed into a tar or afio archive), so you should just "cp" them back into place: # cd /path/where/they're/to/be/written/ # cp -R /where/the/archive/was/written/to . -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
