Hi,
I recently had a somewhat odd system failure (poorly configured software 
RAID) that lead to a *very* old set of BackupPC config files being 
loaded. On one windows machine (possibly more), the default SMB share 
was reset to C$ instead of E$. The full count keep, plus the min keep 
values were also set lower than we wanted them. BackupPC naturally 
marked all the old E$ directories as trash, and has removed them from 
the browse backup list.

The good news (besides the fact that the previous admin of this box is 
several states away and out of arms reach....) is that the backup 
directories and their data still exist under the 
/var/lib/backuppc/pool/hostname/backup number/ directory. They just 
don't show up when you browse the backups. My question is two fold;

1. How do I get the directories back in the list? (I'm assuming this 
involves one of the .rrd files?) Again, the data *is* there, it's just 
not web accessible.

2. How can I tell TrashClean to take a couple days vacation while I sort 
out the consistency of other 130 machines?

Thanks,
~Phil
