Thank you everyone for the replies. Our server is back online. All that
was needed after the tar extraction was a little creativity in copying
files back to their original location but after the files were restored
the BackupPC server came right up.<br>

story short, I upgraded to Centos 5.2 and the BackupPC daemon no<br>
longer forks into the background. Someone else posted this problem a few<br>
days ago but never received a response.<br>
    <br>
Is there a way to run a restore from the command line? Basically I need<br>
to restore everything below root "/" on our server to roll back to<br>
Centos 5.1.<br>
    <br>
Thanks,<br>
