Read the guide on the first post.
In order to restore it, you'll have to install BM again, on your new install, and then restore your backup through it.

In other news, calamity has happened: My main drive/raid - 1.2TB of data, some hard to replace, some irriplacable -- which(of course) I didn't back up - has somehow managed to get screwed up.
It looks like some wayward program just "rm -rf"'d it: All of the data appears to be on disk, but no names, metadata, folders etc.
And I had the misfortune to use ext4. F my life.

In short, it's gonna be a while. I have my old drives with data up to around July 2010(I hope), but that's still a year of work that needs recovery. It's... gonna be a while.

Oh, and from now on I'm going to:
1. do weekly backups to a server I'll keep
2. Have a small, encrypted drive rhat I'll keep important daa in and sync to a Spider Oak account.
3. Probably use btrfs with hourly/weekly snapshots for my new setup, so I can always restore deleted files.
