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 ":" syntax, where "subfolder" is a
       path within the snapshot.
