# timevault-extract: Extracts all the latest files from a vault to a destination directory
Commandline options:
-r, --root: Mandatory - Specifies vault root folder which contains internal, catalog, and pending dirs
-f, --filter: Optional - Filter on folder/file pattern ('%' is wildcard character)
-d, --destination: Optional - Specifies base directory to restore to. Defaults to ./dst/
-s, --simulate: Optional - Don't copy anything, just describe what would be done

Example usages:
  sudo ./timevault-extract --root /vault/folder --filter /home/me/docs/ --simulate
  (Simulate extracting files snapped from /home/me/docs/* from the vault in /vault/folder)

  sudo ./timevault-extract -r /backup -d abcd
  (Extract all files from the vault in /backup to abcd/)

Download (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9289014/timevault-extract) to a folder and make it executable:
$ chmod 755 timevault-extract

I suggest first simulating a file extraction using the -s command-line switch.
