### Restore databases sharing a name
|
||||
|
||||
<span class="minilink minilink-addedin">New in version 1.9.5</span> If you've
|
||||
backed up multiple databases that happen to share the same name (e.g. from
|
||||
different hostnames or ports), you can include additional flags to disambiguate
|
||||
which database you'd like to restore. For instance:
|
||||
backed up multiple databases that happen to share the same name but different
|
||||
hostnames, ports, or hooks, you can include additional flags to disambiguate
|
||||
which database you'd like to restore. For instance, let's say you've backed up
|
||||
the following configured databases:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
borgmatic restore --archive latest --database users --original-hostname myhost.org
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
postgresql_databases:
|
||||
- name: users
|
||||
hostname: host1.example.org
|
||||
- name: users
|
||||
hostname: host2.example.org
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This selects a `users` database to restore, but only if it originally came from
|
||||
the host `myhost.org`—and doesn't restore `users` databases from any other
|
||||
hosts.
|
||||
... then you can run the following command to restore only one of them:
|
||||
|
||||
Here's another example:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
borgmatic restore --archive latest --database users --original-hostname host1.example.org
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This selects a `users` database to restore, but only if it originally came
|
||||
from the host `host1.example.org`. And this command won't restore `users`
|
||||
databases from any other hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's another example configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
postgresql_databases:
|
||||
- name: users
|
||||
hostname: example.org
|
||||
port: 5433
|
||||
- name: users
|
||||
hostname: example.org
|
||||
port: 5434
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And a command to restore just one of the databases:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
borgmatic restore --archive latest --database users --original-port 5433
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That restores a `users` database only if it originally came from port 5433.
|
||||
That restores a `users` database only if it originally came from port `5433`.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally:
|
||||
Finally, check out this configuration:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
postgresql_databases:
|
||||
- name: users
|
||||
hostname: example.org
|
||||
mariadb_databases:
|
||||
- name: users
|
||||
hostname: example.org
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And to select just one of the databases to restore:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
borgmatic restore --archive latest --database users --hook postgresql
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
That restores a `users` database only if it was dumped using the
|
||||
`postgresql_databases:` database hook—and doesn't restore `users` databases that
|
||||
were dumped using other database hooks.
|
||||
`postgresql_databases:` data source hook. And this command won't restore
|
||||
`users` databases that were dumped using other hooks.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that these flags don't change the hostname or port where the database is
|
||||
restored. For that, see below about restoring to an alternate host.
|
||||
Note that these flags don't change the hostname or port to which the database
|
||||
is actually restored. For that, see below about restoring to an alternate
|
||||
host.
