Extract a Backup Account

Extracting a backup account consists of retrieving data from a server and restoring it to a physical medium (such as a USB drive). This operation is useful for performing a restore from an external disk or for data rollback.

The command used to extract an account’s data is:

    arx-account extract <nomDuCompte> --target=<chemin>

The path corresponds to the target location where the extracted data will be written.

Depending on the amount of data and disk performance, the extraction operation may take a long time. This is why we recommend running it in a screen session.
