These include older copies of my documents directory (e.g. at /mnt/hdd/backup/2009/home/akki42/documents and /mnt/hdd/backup/2011/home/akki42/documents ).\r\n\r\nI would like to somehow \"add\" these older states of my documents directory to my backintime snapshots, thus extending the backintime \"timeline\" back to 2009. (I suppose there is a 90%+ match between the 2009 and 2011 files and my oldest existing snapshot from 2012.)\r\n\r\nAny ideas on how to best proceed? Many thanks!"}}
