Ollie,
get your bootdisk or rescue CD (You made one of those right!)
and boot up using that.
Mount the filesystem in question, and use mv to rename the file
back.
Few questions though:
1. How did you know that libc.so.6.backup was there?
2. Did you do anything/install anything that might have made this
happen?
Phil.
