Extracting files/dirs from fsa

orangebutblue opened this issue · 1 comments

Is there a way to extract just a single file or folder from an fs archive?

I've been running daily backups for months now and I simply want to restore a single accidentally deleted file from an archive. How can I do that?

I don't want to restore gigabytes of data and overwrite everything when I just need a single file.

No but you can use this guide to mount an archive into a loop device and restore only the files you need
