To aid in restoring things like BOSH + SHIELD databases in an
emergency situation, an emergency-recovery script was added, which
uses properties in shield.agent.recovery.* and the store_key of
the archive to restore, provided by the user.
This is intended as a manual emergency restore. You deploy BOSH,
or SHIELD, and ssh into the node, then run this script manually,
providing the archive's store_key as the only argument.
The script will then run shield-pipe, provided things have been
configured properly, and it will restore your data from backup,
without the need for a working SHIELD installation that knows about
all of your archives.
If it wasn't clear already, this script is intended to be used
IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS ONLY, to RESTORE data.
