(Enhancement) Allow partial restore #30

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hello,

As restoring large accounts is pretty long (and so become a pain when dealing 
with unstable network), it would be nice to have some selective
restore possible.

I guess supporting the same as provided by the "--search" option for backup 
would be the top, but this might be quite tricky to implement!

Having just a timerange selection would be much simpler to add, and still 
address most of users needs regarding this kind of issue.

As a workaround I just renamed some year folders and run the restore again. So 
cheers for making GYB skipping missing files instead of crashing, that makes it 
robust and more usable for me ;).
But I still believe this is worth some coding effort.

Anyway thanks for that utility
Regards,
Yoann

# Version: GYB Alpha-0.16

# Usecase: transfer data from a "migrated GApp" account to a standard
  GMail.

I just had a look at the sqlite DB.
Another simple way to implement this: a sql WHERE clause to pass as an option 
to GYB
(but yes, this would require some doc about the DB structure to be published)
