When I recover a backup into a directory in which already files exist

Is it possible to prevent this?
There is difference when specifying to restore the directory, or
the files in it.
When you say to amrecover "add .", you specifyied you want to restore
the directory in the state as found on the backup. Newer files
will be deleted.
If you want to restore some files, you may say to amrecover
"add these*", or some other pattern.
In this case newer files are NOT deleted.
Note that "add *" adds the directory itself too, resulting in deleting
newer files. But "cd ..", followed by a "delete thedir" removes the
directory from the extraction list (and leaves the newer files
untouched when restoring).
I do find this a bug, but have not yet got time to implement a fix.
When using "amrestore -p | ..." it's up to you to specify what to
add in the extraction list.
