Restore Backups

To restore a backup try something like:

  duplicity restore -t 7D --restore-time <yyyy/mm/dd --file-to-restore <source/path/to/restore/from>  scp://sugarbackup@backup.sugarlabs.org/backup/<machine.sugarlabs.org>  </destination/path/to/restore/to>

Replace <> with your values

Example:

  duplicity restore -t 7D --restore-time 2000/01/01 --file-to-restore var/lib/mysql/wordpress  scp://sugarbackup@backup.sugarlabs.org/backup/sunjammer.sugarlabs.org  /home/bernie/restore/wordpress

the --restore-time is a workaround for a bug in duplicity when restoring backups in the past

Notes

This is the main backup server for all Sugarlabs Machines
