# Restore

## Borg backup

First we need to install Borg Backup:

```sh
dnf install -y borgbackup
```

## Hetzner Storage Box

So I have a Hetzner Storage Box which is reachable by:

```sh
ssh -p23 u388089@u388089.your-storagebox.de
```

There are two subdirectories:

```sh
/borgbackup # This is an actual borg backup of PhotoPrism with history and everything
/cloned_borgbackup # This is a rclone of a borg backup of nextcloud that happens on my local machine.
```

First, we're going to talk about restoring PhotoPrism

## Restore Photoprism

List:

```sh
export BORG_PASSPHRASE=''
borg list ssh://u388089@u388089.your-storagebox.de:23/./borgbackup/photoprism
```

(Optional, to see what you have) Mount a snapshot:

```sh
borg mount ssh://u388089@u388089.your-storagebox.de:23/./borgbackup/photoprism::2025-01-14_04:00 /home/moni/borg_restore/
```

Unmount it:

```sh
borg umount /home/moni/borg_restore/
```

Restore a backup

You might want to tmux first:

```sh
tmux
```

```sh
borg --progress --verbose extract ssh://u388089@u388089.your-storagebox.de:23/./borgbackup/photoprism::2025-01-14_04:00 /home/photoprism/Pictures
```

Giving a local target directory is not supported. The restore will be in a subdirectory. So if you're in `/home/moni` it will restore to `/home/moni/home/photoprism/Pictures`. You can't change this behavior.
