## Restore
|
||||
|
||||
### From Tape
|
||||
|
||||
When `dsnap-sync` did save the data with method `btrfs-archive`, you will find
|
||||
the corresponding data in a snapper compatible directory structure on the tape.
|
||||
|
||||
The structure may look like:
|
||||
|
||||
└── backups
|
||||
└── @<server-name>
|
||||
├── archive-<subvol-name>
|
||||
│ └── <subvol-id>
|
||||
│ ├── <subvol-id>_full.btrfs
|
||||
│ └── info.xml
|
||||
|
||||
The file `info.xml` provide the metadata corresponding to the snapshot.
|
||||
The data of the snapshot is stored in the file `<subvol-id>_full.btrfs`.
|
||||
This file has to be decrypted with btrfs tool `btrfs-send` to a btrfs
|
||||
restore directory:
|
||||
|
||||
cd /target_btrfs_path
|
||||
cp /path_to_tape_root/backups/@<server-name>/archive-<subvol-name>/<subvol-id>_full.btrfs .
|
||||
cat <subvol-id>_full.btrfs | btrfs receive -v .
|
||||
rm <subvol-id>_full.btrfs
|
||||
|
||||
Please consult btrfs-send man-page for further info.
