Not answering your direct question (because I can't), but if you want to recover individual files the best I have found is Josh's rdiffWeb http://www.rdiffweb.org/. As the name implies it uses a web interface and although the initial configuration can be a bit tricky, once set up it works well and makes retrieving individual files, including versions from the past, a snap....What I'm looking to do is occasionally mount the backup repository, browse for a single file, and restore it from some time in the past, then unmount the repo. I think my approach of building the directory listings from the responses provided by the rdiff-backup API is a fine way to do that. Each command has some latency involved, but it should be adequate. So my original questions stands - what do the rdiff-backup developers think about the API, is it likely to remain relatively stable? What about the recursive option I asked about, is such a patch likely to be accepted? -- Darren
