zvault-import(1) -- Reconstruct a repository from the remote storage

SYNOPSIS

zvault import <REMOTE> <REPO>

DESCRIPTION

This subcommand imports a repository from remote storage. First, an empty repository will be created and then the remote bundles will be imported and added to the local index.

The repository will be created at the location REPO. It is important that the path given as REPO does not yet exist, so that it can be created.

The remote storage path REMOTE must be an existing remote storage folder initialized by zvault-init(1).

Note that this command is not intended to import single backups exported as tar files via zvault-restore(1) with the --tar flag. Those archives can be imported via zvault-backup(1) also with the --tar flag.
