The command I had been using to backup from the hd to the external hd is the following, you will need to have installed rsync.
This reverse command will restore the backup from the external hd to the hd.
Due to the "--delete", it will delete any files which exists at the target but do not exists at the source, that is why I called it syncronize instead of a simple backup. If you want to test without the risk of losing your files, remove the "--delete"
Code:
rsync -avz --delete /home/YOURUSERNAME/SOURCEFOLDER/ /media/DISKNAME/BACKUPFOLDER/This reverse command will restore the backup from the external hd to the hd.
Code:
rsync -avz --delete /media/DISKNAME/SOURCEFOLDER/ /home/YOURUSERNAME/TARGETFOLDER/Due to the "--delete", it will delete any files which exists at the target but do not exists at the source, that is why I called it syncronize instead of a simple backup.
