How to restore the backups? #40

Hi! Sorry if this is a dumb question or the wrong place to ask it. But I have made a TWRP-style backup of my device using tetherback and I see no instructions on how I would restore my backup to my device. Is this something I can do by pointing the tetherback command line tool at a backup file somehow?

It's a good question but one for which I do not yet have a neatly packaged answer. Writing tetherrestore in such a way that it won't do anything disastrously wrong to any device is quite hard. I don't feel that I have access to enough different Android devices to test it adequately.

As always, patches are welcome :-D
