- res0nat0r 7y agoI've loved using restic sofar. I've got about 3TB of stuff backed up to s3 using the restic cli. It is simple and just works. If anyone though knows how I can more easily restore a file that would be great. I have to supply the restoration snapshot ID right now, and I'd rather just do 'latest' and have it find the newest version of the file in all of the snapshots and restore it. Is this possible ? Something like: restic restore -i '/path/to/file.txt' -i . latest instead of: restic restore -i '/path/to/file.txt' -i . search-file-snapshot-list-for-big-sha-here
- ailox 7y agoyou could always mount the entire backup, using restic mount backup/ and pick the file(s) you are looking for from the `backup/snapshots/latest/` directory.
- LeoPanthera 7y agoIt also means that the sending client has to all the work. restic is enormously resource hungry compared to borg. It can be hit by the OOM killer on small VPSs.
