System Manager's Manual · gm-restore · bestie edition 🫶

okay so listen. this is gm-restore, section 8 of the manual (that's the system manager's manual, for the sysadmin girlies 💅). it lives right next to its sibling gm-backup(8) and it's here to put your GNUmed database back together. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gm-restore — restoring a GNUmed database 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gm-restore <backup>
  • <backup> — a database backup file, specifically one named like "backup-gnumed_vX-*.tar.bz2", that was made by gm-backup 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the gm-restore script is gonna attempt to recreate your backed up GNUmed database from scratch 🌈. she tries really hard to be very conservative about it — no wild moves, no surprises, just careful girl behavior 🙈.

she's built for interactive use by root 👑, and honestly she may have to be adjusted to your needs. it's giving "customize me a little," fr fr.

💀 KNOWN PROBLEMS 💀

okay bestie, this one's important, no cap:

for some reason, restoring does not work when the backup file you're trying to restore is a link to the actual backup. 😭 like... it just doesn't. use the full path instead. periodt.

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚

  • gm-backup(8) — the one who made the backup in the first place, iconic duo fr 💜
  • /etc/gnumed/gnumed-restore.conf — the config file, go read her 📖
