== Restoring an entire volume from backups ==

Do this if you want to restore an entire volume. This deletes the old volume and replaces it with the backup.

{{{
vos remove $VOLNAME
vos rename $VOLNAME.restored $VOLNAME

== Removing the local copy of the back-up volume ==

If you only wanted to restore a few files from the volume, you should remove the local copy of the backup volume when done.

This page describes the procedure for accessing and using our off-site backups.

aklog -c megacz.com

cd /afs/megacz.com/hcoop-backup/

cd $DESIRED_BACKUP_DATE

1.3. Creating a local copy

cat $VOLNAME.dump.bz2.aescrypt | \
  ccrypt -cdk /etc/backup-encryption-key | \
  bunzip2 | \
  vos restore deleuze /vicepa $VOLNAME.restored

1.4. Mounting the local copy onto the filesystem

fs mkm /afs/hcoop.net/.../tmp-mount $VOLNAME.restored

2. Restoring a particular file

# examine /afs/hcoop.net/.../tmp-mount
