Small reminder:  /etc is covered nightly by default via RCS in
/var/backups/etc.   (If your box is running 24/7 and executing
the "daily" cronjob.)

find /var/backups/etc -name '*.current' |
	sed	-e 's/.*/& &/' \
		-e 's@ /var/backups@ @' -e 's/.current$//' \
		-e 's/^/cp -p /' |
	sh

would restore everything in /etc and might be easier than referring
to your own backups.   Tailor to your needs.
