How to restore to stdout in resticprofile

[saviodsouza]

Hii

Reading the docs example of stdin i have created my stdin snippet for pg_dump which is working👌

However I am unable to create the same for stdout for pg_restore.

Restic supports stdout via dump but the resticprofile docs says
archive tar by default.
So how to create a yaml snippet to restore to stdout?

Thank you 😊

Hey!

I suppose this is missing from the documentation, you're right to point it out.

There's not much of a profile for the dump command right now, as it's usually a manual command to restore data. I suppose we could make more flags available (like snapshot ID and filename).

Assuming your stdin file is called stdin-test (set via the stdin-filename flag), this is how you would restore the latest pg_dump to stdout:

resticprofile --quiet dump latest /stdin-test | pg_restore

Please note the use of the --quiet flag to avoid any log mixing up with the output 👍🏻
