Ok.

I was hoping there was some simple way to extract the data, which did not
involve the creation of an afs server.

Let's see how it goes. Thank you.

&gt; &gt; If I understood correctly, the easiest way to restore the files i=

&gt; Yes, I think that&#39;s still correct. The easiest way to set up a AFS=
