Restored file all have extension ".backup.somedate"

Asked by ale

The tittle pretty much says it. Many of my files in /home/ and /etc/ have that extension along with the "real" files without that extension. What should I do about them?

This is because 'Backup files on restore' in Options is enabled. If you don't need them you can delete them with:
find /path/to/files -regextype posix-basic -regex ".*\.backup\.[[:digit:]]\{8\}" -delete

run without -delete first to check if files are correct.
