btrfs-restore: Restore all files from a btrfs filesystem to a given directory.
$ sudo btrfs restore ${path-to-btrfs_device} ${path-to-target_directory}
try on your machine
The command "sudo btrfs restore ${path-to-btrfs_device} ${path-to-target_directory}" is used to restore files and directories from a BTRFS filesystem.
Here's what each component of the command means:
- sudo: It runs the command with administrative privileges, allowing the user to perform actions that require superuser permissions.
- btrfs: It is the command-line utility for managing BTRFS filesystems.
- restore: It is the specific action or subcommand of the btrfs command used to restore files and directories.
- ${path-to-btrfs_device}: It represents the path or location of the BTRFS device or partition from which the restoration will be performed. You need to replace "${path-to-btrfs_device}" with the actual path to the BTRFS device or partition (e.g., /dev/sdb1).
- ${path-to-target_directory}: It represents the path or location of the directory where the restored files and directories will be placed. You need to replace "${path-to-target_directory}" with the actual path to the target directory (e.g., /home/user/restore).
