Normally, there are no heading levels assigned to certain characters as the structure is
|
|||
|
|
determined from the succession of headings. However, this convention is used in Python’s
|

|
Style Guide for documenting which you may follow:
|

|
|
|

|
|
# with overline, for parts
|

|
|
* for chapters
|
|||
|
|
= for sections
|

|
|
- for subsections
|

|
|
^ for subsubsections

Restoring from a snapshot
|
|||
|
|
=========================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Restoring a snapshot is as easy as it sounds, just use the following
|
|||
|
|
command to restore the contents of the latest snapshot to
|
|||
|
|
``/tmp/restore-work``:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
$ restic -r /tmp/backup restore 79766175 --target /tmp/restore-work
|
|||
|
|
enter password for repository:
|
|||
|
|
restoring <Snapshot of [/home/user/work] at 2015-05-08 21:40:19.884408621 +0200 CEST> to /tmp/restore-work
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Use the word ``latest`` to restore the last backup. You can also combine
|
|||
|
|
``latest`` with the ``--host`` and ``--path`` filters to choose the last
|
|||
|
|
backup for a specific host, path or both.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
$ restic -r /tmp/backup restore latest --target /tmp/restore-art --path "/home/art" --host luigi
|
|||
|
|
enter password for repository:
|
|||
|
|
restoring <Snapshot of [/home/art] at 2015-05-08 21:45:17.884408621 +0200 CEST> to /tmp/restore-art
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Use ``--exclude`` and ``--include`` to restrict the restore to a subset of
|
|||
|
|
files in the snapshot. For example, to restore a single file:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
$ restic -r /tmp/backup restore 79766175 --target /tmp/restore-work --include /work/foo
|
|||
|
|
enter password for repository:
|
|||
|
|
restoring <Snapshot of [/home/user/work] at 2015-05-08 21:40:19.884408621 +0200 CEST> to /tmp/restore-work
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This will restore the file ``foo`` to ``/tmp/restore-work/work/foo``.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Restore using mount
|
|||
|
|
===================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Browsing your backup as a regular file system is also very easy. First,
|
|||
|
|
create a mount point such as ``/mnt/restic`` and then use the following
|
|||
|
|
command to serve the repository with FUSE:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
$ mkdir /mnt/restic
|
|||
|
|
$ restic -r /tmp/backup mount /mnt/restic
|
|||
|
|
enter password for repository:
|
|||
|
|
Now serving /tmp/backup at /mnt/restic
|
|||
|
|
Don't forget to umount after quitting!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Mounting repositories via FUSE is not possible on Windows and OpenBSD.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Restic supports storage and preservation of hard links. However, since
|
|||
|
|
hard links exist in the scope of a filesystem by definition, restoring
|
|||
|
|
hard links from a fuse mount should be done by a program that preserves
|
|||
|
|
hard links. A program that does so is ``rsync``, used with the option
|
|||
|
|
--hard-links.
