Restore a file in place; parts the destination already has are not downloaded

Terminal window
goback [global flags] file restore [flags] <path> <destination> [age]
Flag Description Environment Default
--overwrite value how to treat an existing file: always hashes every part and rewrites what differs; if-changed skips it when size and mtime match always
--verify hash the written file again before it replaces the destination
--dry-run report what would change without writing
--seed value file or directory to copy matching chunks from instead of downloading them; repeatable
--workers value how many files and parts to fetch at once 48
--salvage write the readable parts when parts are missing; leave holes for the rest and report them
--rechunk split the existing destination with the backup’s chunker, so parts that only moved are not downloaded
