pelican server database backup restore

Restore the database from a backup

Synopsis

Restore the server database from a specific backup file. If the database already exists, the —force flag must be specified; in that case the existing database is renamed with a .pre-restore suffix before restoring.

If no backup file is specified by path, the most recent backup is used when —latest is provided.

Use —output to restore to an alternate location (e.g. for inspection) instead of the configured database path.
