I’ve restored many files over the years but haven’t as yet needed to do a bare metal restore. One further recommendation I have is that you might also consider a second host that backs up the primary backup host in the event that it fails, which is what I’m doing, and because I have it I backup all my hosts to 2 different servers. The BackupPC list is very active at times and can provide you with lots of tips and help. Pete
