BackupPC restore files locally

The easiest way to restore files from BackupPC is web interface, but if You are desperated to use command-line style You can try this:

su backuppc -c "/opt/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h myLaptop \
-n 23 -s / etc" > /tmp/etc.tar

where:

  • backuppc (after su) - name of user BackupPC is running as
  • /opt/BackupPC/bin - path where BackupPC is installed
  • myLaptop - name of host in BackupPC (usually DNS name)
  • 23 - backup number you want to restore (can be relative ex: -1)
  • / - is share name
  • etc - directory you want to restore (relative to share name)
  • /tmp/etc.tar - file with restored files

Of course usually You will compress this file:

su backuppc -c "/opt/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate -h myLaptop \
-n 23 -s / etc" | gzip > /tmp/etc.tgz
