You should always include the ;keep and ;show=offline options to all your
restore commands.

Also, the ;create option - otherwise files whose creators are missing will
not come back. Perhaps that is what you want - but if so, why were the
files there to begin with?? The ;show=offline option will let you see which
users were re-created so that you can then purge them (again).

Finally, you meant INSTALL - not UPDATE CONFIG - didn't you?
