I had a look at the Ruby on Rails at the time, but I don't think the 
source was available.

I am looking for a quick and easy way of browsing and recovering files
and I got stuck as to why I got the error. Its probably PHP related, perhaps
I ought to try a PHP mailing list.
I suspect I need some PHP code, maybe stream functions, to handle the 
file IO
from bbackupquery, but it is way beyond me.
Tried exec system and shell_exec. Had a look at the docs on popen but...

Perhaps I need to set some environment variables.
