Hi,

Thanks for your quick response. can you please check the command -

./mtglacier restore --config glacier.cfg --dir /home/backup --filter '+myfile.gz +' --vault abfile --journal journal.log --max-number-of-files 1

is it right?

[vsespb]

--filter '+myfile.gz +' will filter all files actually. I am not sure --max-number-of-files 1 will help here, as filtering does not imply order of files.

Instead try --filter '+myfile.gz -'.

Try the command with --dry-run option first.

Hi,

ok i will try it with --dry-run option. it is showing error if i am not using --max-number-of-files.

As i uploaded many files on glacier for example myfile.gz, myfile1.gz, myfile2.gz and i only want to restore myfile.gz right now. in this case --filter '+myfile.gz -' will work?

or i need to mention --filter '+archived id -' .

[vsespb]

in this case --filter '+myfile.gz -' will work?

yes, but try with --dry-run first
