Hi,
 My main hard drive failed, I have now a hard drive with all backuppc
backups, no confs... I restored my home server with 2x500GB in RAID-1,
hope it will help in future. As I'm trying to restore my data, I don't
know what would be the best practice. So I've plugged the backup drive
in my desktop PC and installed backuppc. Then I've created a symbolic
link from my /var/lib/backuppc/pc on the pc folder where I can find my
backups. I've then tried to restore thanks to BackupPC_tarCreate,
without success...

Here a tries :

backuppc@xtr:/home/glandais$

I just want to extract backups into a file structure, no way?
Cheers
