restic-dump - Man Page

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

To include the folder content at the root of the archive, you can use the ":" syntax, where "subfolder" is a path within the snapshot.

Exit Status

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