NAME

       restic-dump - 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 snapshot "latest" can be used to use the latest snapshot in the repository.

EXIT STATUS

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