Apparently I have both types of backups, from MythTV that I must have
set up some time ago, and others from Mythbuntu that I set up recently
in response to that thread. Is it necessary to actually perform the
restoration of a backup or is seeing it's 19.whatever MB size
confirmation enough thast I would have something to work with should I
need it?
