good idea :)

well. usually you
1. start by listing backups with `collection-status` which will give you a time stamped list of backups.
2. use a time stamp that lies between two backups or the exact (not rly needed) to "select" the younger backup to restore from via `--time` option

please post your collection status, restore command lines and their outputs for us to see what is goin on.
