Search and Replace. Need to Restore Backup
I search and replaced in Fileman using the search and replace boxes and then clicked the option to make a backup file of each file that had text to be replaced. This option was quite successful and I have a whole bunch of backups of the originals. I want to restore these backups.

Does anybody know how to restore all the backup files (files with the extension .bak?) to their original state (files names with out .bak extensions?)
There is no restore capability programmed into the interface of fileman. Does anybody know what the Unix command is to restore all .bak files to their original files recursively? I want to do this, but I do not know how. My appreciate goes to anybody that has a solution to this.

Best Regards,
