If you prefer to restore a database without the help of borgmatic, first
|
|
|
[extract](https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/extract-a-backup/) an
|
|
|
-archive containing a database dump, and then manually restore the dump file
|
|
|
-found within the extracted `~/.borgmatic/` path (e.g. with `pg_restore`,
|
|
|
-`mysql`, or `mongorestore`, commands).
|
|
|
+archive containing a database dump.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The dump file can then be found in the extracted destination path within the
|
|
|
+`~/.borgmatic/` directory. The `~` here corresponds to the HOME directory of
|
|
|
+the user with whom you created the backup. For example, if you created the
|
|
|
+backup with the `root` user, then the dump will be in
|
|
|
+`EXTRACTED_DESTINATION_PATH/root/.borgmatic`. This also means you will have
|
|
|
+to backup the HOME directory of that user you use to run `borgmatic create`
|
|
|
+(otherwise there the dump file will not be available).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can then use the dump file to manually restore it using the native database
|
|
|
+commands like `pg_restore`, `mysql`, `mongorestore` or similar.
