Ahhh, that is a problem. The /usr/bin/storeBackupRecover.pl is an attempt to recover the original files from a specific "Date" of the backup. It is there if you absolutetly need it, but it's a bonus not the real purpose of storebackup. maybe a line like: "Since storebackup is made to backup to disk, the access to the individual backuped files is via normal disk access." would be helpfull? Hmmm, now that we've solved a problem with the documentation of storebackup how do we "Release" the solution to the storebackup group?
