.SH NAME
.PP
restic-dump - Print a backed-up file to stdout
.SH SYNOPSIS
.PP
\fBrestic dump [flags] snapshotID file\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The "dump" command extracts files from a snapshot from the repository. If a
single file is selected, it prints its contents to stdout. Folders are output
as a tar (default) or zip file containing the contents of the specified folder.
Pass "/" as file name to dump the whole snapshot as an archive file.
.PP
The special snapshotID "latest" can be used to use the latest snapshot in the
repository.
.PP
To include the folder content at the root of the archive, you can use the
":" syntax, where "subfolder" is a path within the
snapshot.

Exit status is 0 if the command was successful, and non-zero if there was any error.
