Backups of your hercules accounts:  
---------------------------------

Backups are performed once a day at about 4:00 am.  You can see the 
backups by going into a set of copies of the hercules machine (you
can only enter your own account's backups)

pwd
	- this will tell you the name of your current directory
	- make note of this because you will have to find a 
	directory with the same name inside the backups
	- for example, suppose it tells you
	/home/hercules/h/hamilt2h/cs115/
	- and the file you want to retrieve from the backups
	is main.cpp
	- then you need to find h/hamilt2h/cs115/main.cpp
	in some day's backups for hercules.

cd /home/open1/Backups/
	- the starting point for all backups

ls
	- choose a machine/disk.  You will want either hercules or
	hercules1
	- for example, suppose your directory is on hercules

cd hercules

ls
	- choose a date that you want to see the backup for
	- Example: if you want the backup for Sep. 18, 2011, you
	will choose Backup.20110918

cd Backup.20110918

ls
	- choose a letter, then choose your name
	- for example, if your account is h/hamilt2h, you
	choose h and then choose hamilt2h

cd h
ls
cd hamilt2h
	- continue following the directories until you
	find the file you want

ls
cd cs115
ls
	- you should see the name of the file you want
	- if it is not there, try a different day
	
	- now copy the file to the appropriate place in
	your home directory 

cp main.cpp /home/hercules/h/hamilt2h/cs115/main-restored.cpp
	- use the pathname that the pwd command gave you
	- give the file a new name that is different from 
	the current file 
	- for example, I add "-restored" to the name of a file
	when I bring it from backups
