How to restore incremental backups via ssh

Community Support Backups
1

Hello i enabled incremental backups, i added this code to crontab:

# DAILY backup for user (03:00 every day)
0 3 * * * sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-backup-user user

# WEEKLY backup for admin (Sunday 01:00)
0 1 * * 0 sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-backup-user admin

# HOURLY incremental backup via Restic
0 * * * * /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-backup-users-restic

In Gui when i go to incremental backups i see files like, 04ba3cc6, 459238d4, 08bb4bb4

But how can i restore them via ssh?

Hi,

Those are the snapshots.

v-restore-user-full-restic USER SNAPSHOT KEY

Note: I’ve never used incremental backups managed by Hestia

I previosuly had this question (how to access my restic repo from anywhere) since my personal PC is windows i need a way to access it,
check this docker image tool which can help you extract the repo easily: GitHub - Eboubaker/hestia_ib_quick_restore: docker image with small script to restore hestia incremental backup

hope that helps.
