Hi all,
I had a bit of a problem with my computer's drive, which shouldn't have been
a problem except I found out that all of my daily backups somehow became
corrupted.  I used DejaDup, the Gui to duplicity.   It gave me a problem
with a SHA1 hash mismatch, which after several hours, I decided it was
hopeless to try to repair all of the messed up archives.  I managed to find
these instructions here on how to restore manually:
https://live.gnome.org/DejaDup/Help/Restore/WorstCase#Restoring_by_Hand.
But, I get stuck on the last step, how to recombine every file.  Is there
any way to automate the following command for all my directories? I have 30
GB of files still not combined.  I know that some data will be corupted but
there were only a few of the archives damaged.  Any help would be
appreciated, thanks in advance...

Example Command:

cd multivolume_snapshot/home/jane/essay.txt
cat * > essay.txt
