|

|
|
|
+To extract the configuration files from an archive, use the `config bootstrap` action. For example:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
|
+borgmatic config bootstrap --repository repo.borg --destination /tmp
|
|
|
|
+```
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+This extracts the configuration file from the latest archive in the repository `repo.borg` to `/tmp/etc/borgmatic/config.yaml`, assuming that the only configuration file used to create this archive was located at `/etc/borgmatic/config.yaml` when the archive was created.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Note that to run the `config bootstrap` action, you don't need to have a borgmatic configuration file. You only need to specify the repository to use via the `--repository` flag, borgmatic will figure out the rest.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+If a destination directory is not specified, the configuration files will be extracted to their original locations, silently **overwriting** any configuration files that may already exist. For example, if a configuration file was located at `/etc/borgmatic/config.yaml` when the archive was created, it will be extracted to `/etc/borgmatic/config.yaml` too. This is in line with the `extract` action, which extracts files to their original locations by default.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+If you want to extract the configuration file from a specific archive, use the `--archive` flag:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+```bash
|
|
|
|
+borgmatic config bootstrap --repository repo.borg --archive host-2023-01-02T04:06:07.080910 --destination /tmp
|
|
|
