How to use this script to restore my backup files in my cloudvps remote server ? Can anyone share the steps need to be followed ?? Thanks lot

I've had to modify the script so that it would cat files in proper numerical order 1,2,3,4 etc rather than 1,10,11,12,2,3,4 etc

# we need to combine all these elements
#do("cat \"" + path + "\"/* > \"" + m2s(path) + "\"")
do("find \"" + path + "\" -name \"*\" | sort -V | xargs cat - > \"" + m2s(path) + "\"")

This throws an error on the first line passed to cat, however it properly puts the files back together.

HOW TO: download all your files from your cloud, download this script and change the directories in the script to match your setup: FROM = '/media/New Volume/dejadup-bakup' TO_TMP = '/home/johndoe/tmp', and run the script.
