How to access Time Machine files from Linux

here a crude helper to restore a ‘Time Machine.app’ backup on a linux system (well, a non-OSX system…)

starting from How to access Time Machine files from Linux the steps are somewhat automated.

ARG1: directory from where to descend and restore files
ARG2: destination directory
ARG3: directory whith the dir_* files

eg.:

sudo restoretmbackup.py /media/osxbackup/Backups.backupdb/nikki/Latest/nikki foo/ /media/osxbackup/.HFS+\ Private\ Directory\ Data^M

(you might not need to sudo…)
