Restore

autorestic restore [-l, --location] [--from backend] [--to <out dir>] [-f, --force]

This will restore all the locations to the selected target. If for one location there are more than one backends specified autorestic will take the first one.

The --to path has to be empty as no data will be overwritten by default. If you are sure you can pass the -f, --force flag and the data will be overwritten in the destination. However note that this will overwrite all the data existent in the backup, not only the 1 file that is missing e.g.

Example

autorestic restore -l home --from hdd --to /path/where/to/restore

This will restore the location home to the /path/where/to/restore folder and taking the data from the backend hdd
