Restore

Borg backup

First we need to install Borg Backup:

dnf install -y borgbackup

Hetzner Storage Box

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

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

There are two subdirectories:

/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:

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

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

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

Unmount it:

borg umount /home/moni/borg_restore/

Restore a backup

You might want to tmux first:

tmux

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.
