Since this "Backup" directory is also accessible via samba, the users can go directly to the backup directory and get the backups themselves. The files are individually zipped so that each document can be looked at without long "restore" processes. (This is the entire restore procedure, and also helps understand the lack of documentation thereof).
Even then 1 alinea describing the above would be welcome. I first looked at it and saw something like /usr/bin/storeBackupRecover.pl More parameters to fill in an what if that is part of the problem?
I have personally experienced (and I am sure many others with me) that restoring is much more importand then backing up. Backing up takes only space and time for yourself and for your system. Restoring will recover your data.
So when I started first looking for a backup tool, I started looking for restore information. When that was not available, I started looking for another tool. Restoring is what people are really interested in.

Ahhh, that is a problem. The /usr/bin/storeBackupRecover.pl is an attempt to recover the original files from a specific "Date" of the backup. It is there if you absolutetly need it, but it's a bonus not the real purpose of storebackup. maybe a line like: "Since storebackup is made to backup to disk, the access to the individual backuped files is via normal disk access." would be helpfull? Hmmm, now that we've solved a problem with the documentation of storebackup how do we "Release" the solution to the storebackup group? Jerry
