<b>Example 1:</b> It's May, 8th, when user 'briedlin' ask you to restore the messages of his mailbox 'orders' he has inadvertently deleted yesterday at 17:00 h.
1. You first must check what backup archives are available. The jobname of this server backup ist 'prodserv'. Run a long listing of the archives directory:<br><br><code># ls -ltr /var/affa/prodserv</code><br>

2. Choose the scheduled.6 archive, which was created an hour before the accident. Now restore the mailbox 'orders' using the rsync command.
3. Get the server's IP address:<br><code># db affa getprop prodbox remoteHostName</code><br>
<pre>10.204.48.1</pre>
4. Now run the rsync command:
<code># export RDIR=/home/e-smith/users/briedlin/Maildir/.orders/</code><br>Note the leading slash!
<code># rsync -av --numeric-ids -e /usr/bin/ssh /var/affa/prodserv/scheduled.6/$RDIR 10.204.48.1:$RDIR</code>
<b>Example 2:</b> A user has deleted the file orderform.pdf from ibay 'docs' and ask you to restore it.
1. You searched and found the latest version of this file in archive weekly.1
2. Copy it back to the server:
<code># export RFILE=/home/e-smith/files/ibays/docs/files/orderform.pdf</code>
<code># scp /var/affa/prodserv/weekly.1/$RFILE 10.204.48.1:$RFILE

To run a full restore of user and configuration data run on the Affa server<br><code># affa --full-restore <JOB> [<ARCHIVE>]</code><br>This rsyncs the data from the backup ARCHIVE back to the 'remoteHostname' defined in the configuration of the job JOB.
