zvault-restore(1) -- Restore a backup or subtree

SYNOPSIS

zvault restore [OPTIONS] <BACKUP> <DST>

DESCRIPTION

This subcommand restores a backup or a backup subtree BACKUP into the folder DST.

The backup or backup subtree given by BACKUP must be in the format [repository]::backup_name[::subtree] as described in zvault(1). If repository is omitted, the default repository location is used instead.

If --tar is set, the data is written to a tar file named DST. In this case DST must not exist. If DST is -, the data will be written to stdout.

If --tar is not set, the data will be written into the existing folder DST.

OPTIONS

• --tar:

  Write the backup to a tar archive named DST instead of creating files and folders at this location.

  This option can be used to export a backup that can be imported again using zvault-backup(1) with the --tar flag.
