Hello,
As I read man pages etc, I am beggining to understand that rdiff can only
restore an entire directory or subdirectory, correct?
Therefore, if I need a file restored I must restore the entire directory to
a temp location and then copy the file back to it's home, Right?
I am trying to use this to back up the Samba share of the machine called
samba-saa(ip 192.168.0.253) I am backing up to a dir called /samba-saa on
the mirror (local) machine (ip 192.168.0.254) so my rdiff-backup syntax
looks like this
rdiff-backup 192.168.0.253::/samba/Data /samba-saa
where /Data contains all the files that need to be backed up, this works.
It's restoring that has me confused.
Just so happens that I have need to restore two files right now.
The original (remote) location of the dir that has been backed up is
192.168.0.253::/samba-saa/Data/SAA Projects/Tormey/04-Photos
my backup is located here (local)
/samba-saa/rdiff-backup-data
How do I restore that particular foder?
