bup:tldr:47e3f
This command is using the "bup" command-line tool to restore files from a backup repository to a target directory.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"bup": This is the command itself, the tool used for backups and restores.
-
"-d ${path-to-repository}": This option specifies the path to the repository where the backup is stored. Replace "${path-to-repository}" with the actual path.
-
"restore": This sub-command is telling "bup" to restore files.
-
"-C ${path-to-target_directory}": This option specifies the path to the target directory where the files will be extracted/restored. Replace "${path-to-target_directory}" with the desired directory path.
-
"${backup_name}": This is the name of the backup to restore. Replace "${backup_name}" with the actual name of the backup file to restore.
In summary, this command restores files from a specific backup (identified by "${backup_name}") located in a repository (specified by "${path-to-repository}") and extracts them to a designated target directory (specified by "${path-to-target_directory}").
