pelican server origin pstore export

pelican-server origin pstore export

Write objects out as ordinary files

Synopsis

Export a subtree from the store into a directory of plain files.

This is the recovery path that does not need Pelican running: the objects come out as normal files in a normal directory tree, readable with anything.

Objects that cannot be read are reported and skipped rather than aborting the export, because recovering most of a damaged store and knowing exactly what was lost is more useful than stopping at the first bad block.

An export never overwrites what is already in the destination. Pass —resume to continue an interrupted export: files already written are skipped and counted separately rather than reported as failures.
