Hi listers,

I've a fried machine and have to retrieve some files from it's BB repo.

As I have a backup of ~/.config/borg/ and ~/.cache/borg/ from this
fried machine, the easiest way I see to do that is to :
* rename these 2 DIRs to d°_NORMAL
* copy these 2 DIRs from my USB backup to their regular place
* retrieve files from the repo
* delete these 2 DIRs
* move *_NORMAL to their regular names

but may be there's an easier way to achieve that?

Jean-Yves
