Hi

This is the second time around for restore problems. I need to do a full 
restore and am having problems building the tar file. I am no longer 
willing to fool with the command line method. I spent days trying to get 
things to work. I don't have time to fiddle with it any more. I find the 
instructions vague.

The real problem is with the GUI. Check out the following:

     1. I selected the system from the left hand menu that I wish to 
restore.
     2. I selected the full backup #. In this case #169. This listed the 
backed up directories etc, var,             root and home.
     3. I selected all and check marks appeared by all of the directories.
     4. I hit "Restore selected files". The restore method page appeared.
     5. I selected method 3 (tar file ) and left the "Make archive 
relative to /" checked since I don't                 understand what it 
does. The save file screen appeared and I selected save. This created 
           a restore.tar file in my /home/gary/Download directory.

Now the file that was created was 331MB. Unfortunately it should be 
21GB. Backuppc only restored the directory structure and some of the 
files that were in the first tier of directories. None of the lower 
level files were restored. I have tried breaking up the backup into 
individual directores (ie etc, var, home, root) but with essentially the 
same result. Beyond about the 2nd tier transfer is unreliable. I have 
checked the backup archives and they contain all of the data. The data 
is there but I can't get it back.

Any help will be sincerely appreciated.

Gary R.
