[rdiff-backup-users] restore a specific directory

[Lance W. Haverkamp]

Hi all,

I have backed-up a user home directory over time.  I now need to restore 
one (corrupted) subdirectory to the way it was a few days ago.

All the include/exclude instructions I can find only pertain to backup, 
not restore.  Isn't there a way to restore one small subdirectory 
with-out rolling-back the entire system three days?

Would this this ONLY restore the subdirectory called .spamato?

rdiff-backup -r 3D --include /home/lance/.spamato /mnt/backup/lance 
/home/lance

I've tried some permutations, but keep getting errors; so please be verbose.

Thanks!
