6f3accf691 Better explain where to find the dump file
I really had problem finding the dump file with the explanation as give before. I thought that the `~/.borgmatic/` would be my current user. So looked into `/home/gerd/.borgmatic` (wrong). Then I looked into `<EXTRACTED_DESTINATION_PATH/.borgmatic` (again wrong). Then finally (1h later and after having already prepared a bug ticketI figured out that the dump file is within `<EXTRACTED_DESTINATION_PATH/root/.borgmatic`. Hard to find because of course I d not only have `root` within `<EXTRACTED_DESTINATION_PATH/` but also all other backup'ed directories (including /etc/, /home/ on so on...)
