Hi folks,

I have an old backuppc server which is no longer properly functional. I can get 
the server running reliably with just networking and sshd services, but if I 
start the backuppc service I get a kernel panic and the whole server freezes. 

However I need to recover a users files from this old system. I read that you 
can recover single files from the command line - but unfortunately I need 
around 70Mb's worth of files! Not really practical to do this one at a time. 
Please correct me if I'm wrong but IIRC Backuppc encodes files as it backs them 
up. Is there a way in which I could scp/rsync this users files to my desktop 
and decode them there?

As ever all suggestions greatly appreciated.
