NAME

       restic-restore - Extract the data from a snapshot

SYNOPSIS

       restic restore [flags] snapshotID

DESCRIPTION

       The "restore" command extracts the data from a snapshot from the repository to a directory.

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

       To only restore a specific subfolder, you can use the "snapshotID:subfolder" syntax, where "subfolder" is
       a path within the snapshot.

EXIT STATUS

       Exit status is 0 if the command was successful.  Exit status is 1 if there was any error.  Exit status is
       10 if the repository does not exist.  Exit status is 11 if the repository is already locked.
