cprevert - Fast file-level restore from cpbackup tarballs

[brianoz]

Tired of it taking 20-30 commands and 20 minutes of fiddling just to restore one file from a cpbackup archive, only to discover it's the wrong file?

This command allows you to restore files from cPanel cpbackup tarballs in one command.
Example:

[host1:/home/fredshop/public_html/plugins]# cprevert error_log
user = fredshop
looking for ./public_html/plugins
