SYNOPSIS:
   duplicacy restore - Restore the repository to a previously saved snapshot

USAGE:
   duplicacy restore [command options] [--] [pattern] ...

OPTIONS:
   -r <revision>            the revision number of the snapshot (required)
   -hash                    detect file differences by hash (rather than size and timestamp)
   -overwrite               overwrite existing files in the repository
   -delete                  delete files not in the snapshot
   -stats                   show statistics during and after restore
   -threads <n>             number of downloading threads
   -limit-rate <kB/s>       the maximum download rate (in kilobytes/sec)
   -storage <storage name>  restore from the specified storage instead of the default one

The restore command restores the repository to a previous revision. By default the restore procedure will treat files that have the same sizes and timestamps as those in the snapshot as unchanged files, but with the -hash option, every file will be fully scanned to make sure they are in fact unchanged.

By default the restore procedure will not overwriting existing files, unless the -overwrite option is specified.

The -delete option indicates that files not in the snapshot will be removed.

If the -stats option is specified, statistical information such as transfer speed, and number of chunks will be displayed throughout the restore procedure.

The -threads option can be used to specify more than one thread to download chunks.

The -limit-rate option sets a cap on the maximum upload rate.

When the repository can have multiple storages (added by the add command), you can select the storage to restore from by specifying the storage name.

Unlike the backup procedure that reading the include/exclude patterns from a file, the restore procedure reads them from the command line. If the patterns can cause confusion to the command line argument parser, -- should be prepended to the patterns. Please refer to the Include/Exclude Patterns section for how to specify patterns.
