Just a quick heads up since we are now two+ months down the road from
this. I'm going to wipe out /home/restore on Friday of this week. If,
for whatever reason, you have not dealt with this yet please do so now
as the data will be removed from the system. This is mainly to help
deal with a backup system that is happening and to eliminate the extra
overhead that the data is taking up.

Thanks!
