btrfs-restore(8)
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
**btrfs restore** [options] <device> <path> | -l <device>
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
**btrfs restore** is used to try to salvage files from a damaged filesystem and
|
||||
restore them into *path* or just list the subvolume tree roots. The filesystem
|
||||
image is not modified.
|
||||
|
||||
If the filesystem is damaged and cannot be repaired by the other tools
|
||||
(``btrfs-check(8)`` or ``btrfs-rescue(8)``), **btrfs restore** could be used to
|
||||
retrieve file data, as far as the metadata are readable. The checks done by
|
||||
restore are less strict and the process is usually able to get far enough to
|
||||
retrieve data from the whole filesystem. This comes at a cost that some data
|
||||
might be incomplete or from older versions if they're available.
|
||||
|
||||
There are several options to attempt restoration of various file metadata type.
|
||||
You can try a dry run first to see how well the process goes and use further
|
||||
options to extend the set of restored metadata.
|
||||
|
||||
For images with damaged tree structures, there are several options to point the
|
||||
process to some spare copy.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
It is recommended to read the following btrfs wiki page if your data is
|
||||
not salvaged with default option:
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
-s|--snapshots
|
||||
get also snapshots that are skipped by default
|
||||
|
||||
-x|--xattr
|
||||
get extended attributes
|
||||
|
||||
-m|--metadata
|
||||
restore owner, mode and times for files and directories
|
||||
|
||||
-S|--symlinks
|
||||
restore symbolic links as well as normal files
|
||||
|
||||
-i|--ignore-errors
|
||||
ignore errors during restoration and continue
|
||||
|
||||
-o|--overwrite
|
||||
overwrite directories/files in *path*, eg. for repeated runs
|
||||
|
||||
-t <bytenr>
|
||||
use *bytenr* to read the root tree
|
||||
|
||||
-f <bytenr>
|
||||
only restore files that are under specified subvolume root pointed by *bytenr*
|
||||
|
||||
-u|--super <mirror>
|
||||
use given superblock mirror identified by <mirror>, it can be 0,1 or 2
|
||||
|
||||
-r|--root <rootid>
|
||||
only restore files that are under a specified subvolume whose objectid is *rootid*
|
||||
|
||||
-d
|
||||
find directory
|
||||
|
||||
-l|--list-roots
|
||||
list subvolume tree roots, can be used as argument for *-r*
|
||||
|
||||
-D|--dry-run
|
||||
dry run (only list files that would be recovered)
|
||||
|
||||
--path-regex <regex>

|
||||
with a mandatory format
|
||||
|
||||
``^/(|home(|/username(|/Desktop(|/.*))))$``
|
||||
|
||||
The format is not very comfortable and restores all files in the
|
||||
directories in the whole path, so this is not useful for restoring
|
||||
single file in a deep hierarchy.
|
||||
|
||||
-c
|
||||
ignore case (*--path-regex* only)
|
||||
|
||||
-v|--verbose
|
