Hi,
I'm having a strange issue when trying to restore a directory. I'm
using rdiff-backup 1.2.8 on both the local (backup) server where the
backup is initiated and the data is saved to and the remote fileserver.
The command I have been using to make the backups is:
On the backup server:
#rdiff-backup user@192.168.1.201::/data /backup
This process has been going along without errors showing up and the
/data directory on the remote fileserver is correctly being stored on
/backup on the local backup server.
On Dec. 30/2011 a user mistakenly deleted the directory
/data/data/ACS/Data on the fileserver.

I am wanting to restore the /data/data/ACS/Data directory to a temporary
directory on the backup server so that I can FTP it to my Windows
machine which is on the same LAN to burn the files on a DVD.
I've tried the following command:
On the backup server:
#sudo rdiff-backup -v8 -r 4D /backup/data /restore
[root@backupserver data]# sudo rdiff-backup -v8 -r 4D /backup/data /restore

Starting restore of /backup/data to /restore as it was as of Thu Dec 29

Processing changed file .
Regular copying () to /rdiff-backup.tmp.1
Removing directory /restore
Restore finished
Cleaning up
As you can see at the end of the process it removes the /restore
directory where the restored directory and files should be. What am I
doing wrong? I'm guessing (hoping) it's something simple but I'm been
at this for too long and it's past midnight and I'm out of options. I'm
hoping someone can let me know what command to use and on what server to
use it so that I can restore the deleted /data/data/ACS/Data directory
to a temporary directory on the backup server.
TIA,
Shane Bywater
