Re: [Burp-users] Win7 client restore - only diffs

[Brad G. <bg...@zo...>]

When those commands run they restore in-place (to an empty folder) just some of the files not all of the files from the backs ups which is what I mean by diffs from last night. It seems to only be restoring the files tat changed last night and not the full folders of the backup.

so when I run

Burp -a r -b 0000305

I would expect  all of the files listed in ftp under that numbered backup but am not getting them all all i was getting was some files from the appdata.

What do these commands say?

I don't understand the "only diffs from last night" statement.

Besides, these commands perform restoration in-place. It means that if the
files/directories already exist, they won't be overridden unless you add the
"-f" flag. But it's usually safer to restore in a separate directory and pick up
the needed files manually (this can be achieved with the "-d c:/some_tmp_dir"
flag for instance).

You can also run "burp -a l -b #" in order to list the files that are presents
in your backup. This way you can know if the files you are looking for are
correctly backed up.
