Docker restore backup command

[Mondmarmelade]

Hello!
I am new to ioBroker (and also Docker a bit) and I wanted to ask if it is somehow possible to restore a backup from the command line.
I can of course do it manually with the backitup extension, but this requires me to go through the setup process again.
This is very tedious, so is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance!

in console,

• m on -y to stop iobroker first, if not using iobrokers standard container, use
• pkill -u iobroker
• cd /opt/iobroker if not already there. find the name of your backup with
• ls -ltr backups|tail -4 which gives you the 4 latest files, copy the one youd like to use
• iobroker restore file_to_restore
• m off -y once you see the message that everything was restored successfully

last command will restart container, otherwise do this manually. after short time you should be able to access adminGUI.

However, you need to wait until all adapters are installed, you could see this in instances tab depending on amount of adapters and your system that can easily take 30 minutes. you will need to start your adapters manually once everything is finished

Wait?
How can I use cd in the docker container?

Wait? How can I use cd in the docker container?

that is depending on your system and how you startet your container. Normally all NAS have a GUI that offers a console option to access a running containers console

generally, from the Docker hosts console, enter docker exec -t your_container_name /bin/bash
