# NAME

App::BorgRestore - Restore paths from borg backups

# SYNOPSIS

    use App::BorgRestore;

    my $app = App::BorgRestore->new();

    # Update the cache (call after creating/removing backups)
    $app->update_cache();

    # Restore a path from a backup that is at least 5 days old. Optionally
    # restore it to a different directory than the original.
    $app->restore_simple($path, "5days", $optional_destination_directory);

# DESCRIPTION

App::BorgRestore is a restoration helper for borg.

It maintains a cache of borg backup contents (path and latest modification
time) and allows to quickly look up backups that contain a path. It further
supports restoring a path from an archive. The archive to be used can also be
automatically determined based on the age of the path.

The cache has to be updated regularly, ideally after creating or removing
backups.

**borg-restore.pl** is a wrapper around this class that allows for simple CLI
usage.

This package uses [Log::Any](https://metacpan.org/pod/Log::Any) for logging.
