Thanks Adam - That does work for individual files.
I would prefer to be able to restore the full subdirectory tree (taking
into account the full/incremental backups)
Is there a script which can scan the filesystem, and generate the
correct backuppc indexes, or create an archive of the files.
I have tried BackupPC_fixupBackupSummary, which says nothing changed,
and BackupPC_tarCreate, which does not include the required directory.
I have just noticed that the directory exists in all backups except the
most recent incremental:
find . -type d -name "fBel's Documents"
./93/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments
./98/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments
./102/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments
./100/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments
./101/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments
./97/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments
./99/fb$/fMy Documents/fDocuments
103 is my latest incremental backup...
