restic restore [flags] snapshotID

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.
