snapdir pull

Fetch a snapshot from a store and check it out to the given path.

pull is the one-step combination of snapdir fetch and snapdir checkout: it downloads the snapshot from a --store into the cache and materializes it at the destination directory.

Usage

snapdir pull [OPTIONS] [PATH]

Arguments

Options

pull accepts the global options; the most relevant are --store (source), --id (snapshot to pull), and --linked to materialize via symlinks into the cache.

Examples

Pull a snapshot from S3 into a new directory:

snapdir pull --id 1220abc... --store s3://my-bucket/snapshots ./restored

Pull from a local file store using symlinks:

snapdir pull --id 1220abc... --store file:///srv/backups --linked ./restored
