Re: [BackupPC-users] Restore question

Thank you for the fast reply. Can you desribe how this command works?
And one more - let's hope last - question: is it a problem if I change
the external drive on every monday? After the change I run a full backup
manually and on the other days only incremental backups are created.
So this way if something disaster happens to the machine I'll "only"
lost the current week, since I'll have another external drive with the
datas from the previous week.
