Re: [cobalt-users] scheduled backup

["Richard Donahue" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Initially I have done backups and then viewed the compressed archives, but
after your message I did a restore and found that the restore to fleshier
uncompressed the archive into the /home/groups/restore folder and does not
restore any of the files to the original locations. However, I can move the
files to the original location manually from the archive. I only did that
with some of the data (.docs) in the home archive. Would it work as well
with other files?

So what do people use with the Qube 3?

Thanks and Happy Holidays.
