CLI:Canasta backup restore
From canasta
canasta backup restore
Restore a backup
Synopsis
Restore a Canasta installation from a backup snapshot. By default, a safety snapshot is taken before restoring. The restore replaces configuration files, extensions, images, skins, public_assets, .env, docker-compose.override.yml, my.cnf, and all wiki databases with the contents of the specified snapshot.
Use -w/--wiki to restore only a single wiki's database, per-wiki settings, images, and public assets from the backup, leaving shared files untouched.
canasta backup restore [flags]
Examples
# Restore a snapshot by ID canasta backup restore -i myinstance -s abc123 # Restore without taking a safety snapshot first canasta backup restore -i myinstance -s abc123 --skip-safety-backup # Restore only a single wiki's database canasta backup restore -i myinstance -s abc123 -w wiki2
