Name

rdautorest — Tool for restoring Rivendell backups produced by rdautoback(8)

Synopsis

rdautorest [--yes] {mount-pt}

Description

rdautorest(8) is a command-line tool used for restoring backups of the data for the Rivendell Radio Automation System produced by rdautoback(8).

rdautorest(8) takes one required argument: the name of a storage mount point that has been configured in fstab(5). Upon startup, rdautorest(8) will attempt to mount the specified mount point and restore the following data elements:

  • The Rivendell database specified by the current rd.conf(5) configuration file.

  • The contents of the Rivendell audiostore, located at /var/snd.

Any Rivendell data that is already present on the target system will be incrementally updated so as to be a precise copy of the backed-up data. After completing the restoration, rdautorest(8) will automatically unmount the backup device and remove its mount point.

By default rdautorest(8) will print a warning and require confirmation before proceeding with the restoration. This prompt can be bypassed by providing the --yes option.
