How to restore a kup backup as root?

I made a backup with a different user on a different computer, and I’d like to restore a few files.

How can I do it as root or superuser as I’d permission this way?

What command should I use? I’m not sure.

hi, welcome.

kup is a just a GUI front end to bup

if you review the man page for it man bup you may find what you need.

i found this under man bup-restore

 The --map-user, --map-group, --map-uid, --map-gid options may be used to adjust the available ownership information
