Re: Restore files without ownership confirmation.

Ah thank you, I'm unsure how I misread the manpage however yes that is the
correct option to use.

e.g.

dar -x backup_20200328 -R . -g Books/ -w -Oignore-owner

(Note: I had to use "-Oignore-owner" as otherwise I'd get an error; "Parse
error: Given user target(s) could not be found: ignore-owner")

In any event, thank you for assisting with this simple issue, stay healthy
& have a fantastic rest of the week!

Warm regards
Patrick
