Re: Restore Backup

The general structure of a backup repository is:

-repo-root
-.xsitools
|-data
|-data/.blocklog
|-20230720010101
|-20230720020202
|-20230720030303
|-20230720010101
|-20230720010101/VM1
|-20230720010101/VM2
|-20230720010101/VM3

The source of a restore command must be some VM folder, for example.

xsibackup --restore /backup-volume/repo-root/20230720010101/VM1 /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/restores/VM1
