Hi,
I find some of expired backups in Trash directory. What is the correct
way to restore data from directories under 'trash' I found
For example, I found directory '1325037949_12970_0/f%2fexport%2fhome'
in trash which I believe is for /export/home partition on a remote
server. Do I move this to someplace so that data can then be restored
using backuppc admin gui?
Restoring from trash seems like a very poor and unreliable
idea. Specifically, the purpose of moving old backups to the trash is
to allow the background backupPC_trashClean process to recursively
delete all the files and folders in the old backup. So there is no
guarantee that your backup is at all intact and indeed if backuppc is
working properly it probably already is missing some file trees. The
longer the backup has been sitting in the trash, the more likely that
it is thus corrupted.
