    file name (name in the backup, probably with suffix
    from compression)
--backupRoot -b
    root of storeBackup tree, normally not needed
--verbose, -v
    print verbose messages
--locateSame, -l
    locate same file with other names

It does not always work correctly when a file is saved blocked *and* non-blocked in different backups. In such cases, use option --locateSame.
