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.  Exit status
       is 12 if the password is incorrect.
