Restore

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

This will restore the location to the selected target. If for one location there are more than one backends specified autorestic will take the first one. If no specific snapshot is specified autorestic will use latest.

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
