## How to restore
The script creates a backup in a regular directory so you can simply copy the files back to the original directory. You could do that with something like `rsync -aP /path/to/last/backup/ /path/to/restore/to/`. Consider using the `--dry-run` option to check what exactly is going to be copied. Use `--delete` if you also want to delete files that exist in the destination but not in the backup (obviously extra care must be taken when using this option).
