I've been wondering just how smooth it would be to restore a backed-up Linux
localhost. Has anyone done this who could share their thoughts or experiences?
Here's what I'm wondering: Assume a Linux server with all OS and user data

I've backed up two clients and now I am ready to run BackupPC_compressPool
in test mode using the -t and -r flags.
