Re: [rdiff-backup-users] How to restore a specific list of files with rdiff backup?

[Miroslav Geisselreiter]

Hi William,

1. to find where extactly is file you want to restore (your backup is in 
directory /backup/server1/)
    rdiff-backup -r 1D /backup/server1/  | grep index.php
    result can be for example /www/index.php

2. now restore that file to temp directory
    rdiff-backup -r 1D /backup/server1/www/index.php /restoredir/index.php
    note: you have to specify also target file name

I think now you can write simple script do find more files form text file.
