As metadata (two sort of files if I remember right, one of them a
signature file, the other ?) gone missing, I couldn't do it with
duplicity restore (therefore I was searching for another terminus).
According to what Michael Terry wrote (sadly can't remember where I
found it :-() I manually unpacked all the gziped data with
for t in *.sigtar.gz; do tar xfz $t; done
what created the two different directories.
Further following Michael's instructions, in the snapshot directories,
there already are the original files now, but in the multivol
directories I had to concatenate the unpacked files to recover the
original file - but that's where I'm afraid, something went wrong by
mixing up windows and linux.
I'm now wondering, where a possible error could have slipped in ?
