Can you get back one uploaded file?
Choose a snapshot, which is a saved view of the selected files at one time. You can restore the whole snapshot or select the file you need and restore it to a separate folder. Check that the snapshot covers the right source machine and folder. A file created after the selected snapshot will not be there.
What has to survive if the original machine fails?
Keep access to the repository, where restic stores the backups, and keep its password somewhere you can still reach without the original machine. The software is BSD-2-Clause licensed. You provide the storage and schedule, so account for retained data, transfer charges where applicable and space for recovery. If a live database is part of the app, back up a database export or use a supported database backup process rather than relying on a file snapshot of its running data directory.
Which copy has the fictional ticket image?

- Pick the saved copyName the Tuesday snapshot and the exact file path you would restore.
