Snapshot restore will take a snapshot ID and restore the
associated snapshot to the target path.
- Looks up the manifest with the snapshot ID
- Gets the snapshot root entry
- Copies the snapshot from the root entry to the target path
Because it uses the parent manifest with the copied permissions,
the restored directory will have the permissions of the original
source directory.
Behavior:
- Creates top directory on restore
- Fails when target directories or files already exist
- Allows restoring to local root directory
- Restores of file attributes => mod time, mode, owner info
- Only a directory can be specified as a parameter
Not implemented:
- Restoring attributes of the top folder
- Restoring symlinks
- Restoring a single file
