Hello!

I need to restore all PDF files from a particular backup share. It's 30,000 files scattered around thousands of locations. So, I was hoping to use BackupPC_tarCreate to do it. But I'm striking out.

This works:

./BackupPC_tarCreate -l -h server -n 918 -s E "/Shares/Shared"

But this does not:

./BackupPC_tarCreate -l -h server -n 918 -s E "/Shares/Shared/*.pdf"

What am I missing? How do I get BackupPC_tarCreate to create a tar file that contains all PDF's stored in that path?

Thank you very much for any support you can give me. I've tried different escapings/not-escapings etc to be able to achieve this and I'm out of ideas! :)
