NAME

       restic-dump - Print a backed-up file to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       restic dump [flags] snapshotID file

DESCRIPTION

       The  "dump"  command extracts files from a snapshot from the repository. If a single file is selected, it
       prints its contents to stdout. Folders are output as a tar (default) or zip file containing the  contents
       of the specified folder.  Pass "/" as file name to dump the whole snapshot as an archive file.

       The special snapshot "latest" can be used to use the latest snapshot in the repository.

       Exit status is 0 if the command was successful, and non-zero if there was any error.
