Shell Programming and Scripting

hey thanks alot I now have it working and restoring correctly, I used Don's code and used a example on stackoverflow.

Congratulations. But, I'm very surprised.

What happens if you try the following sequence of commands:

Code:

cd some_directory # change directory to a place where files c and e exist
delete c
delete e
cd /tmp
restore c
restore e

With the code you have shown us so far, I don't see any way that both files would be restored to their correct locations and would be very surprised if either file was restored to its correct location. Please reconsider the eight points I raised in my earlier message in this thread.
