[Cialug] Restoring a server

[Andrew Denner]

The  --backup-dir option should allow you to make a copy of all the changed
files, and then a simple mv would move them back in place (in theory)
so it would not necessarily need be a folder by folder problem. You would
have the added benefit of not having to copy those files that haven't
changed.
