[mythtv-users] Restore backup?

[Daryl McDonald]

When I look at the GUI file system I can see five db backups for the
last five Sundays the size of which grows with each backup. As a
result of reading the recent backup thread I tried to restore a backup
through MCC, but the files don't present themselves. Am I right in
assuming that the permissions need modification? Or is there a better
way to restore, or confirm ability to restore through the terminal?
I'm running MythTV 0.27 fixes in an Ubuntu 12.04LTS environment.

Thanks, and Happy New Year to all, Daryl
