Description
Currently, there is an option to back up the Borg server database through the GUI. However, there is no corresponding way to restore these backups from the interface.
Restoration can only be performed manually (e.g., via CLI), which makes the process less accessible and more error-prone.
This feature request proposes adding a dedicated GUI section (e.g., a new tab or panel) that allows users to:
- View available server backup snapshots
- Select a restore point
- Trigger a restore operation directly from the web interface
Use Case
A typical scenario:
- An administrator performs regular server backups using the built-in backup feature.
- After a configuration error, data corruption, or accidental deletion, the server needs to be restored to a previous state.
- Currently, the administrator must:
- Access the system via CLI
- Manually locate backup files
- Execute restore commands
This process can be:
- Time-consuming
- Error-prone
- Difficult for less experienced users
With a GUI-based restore feature:
- The administrator could simply:
- Navigate to a "Server Backups" tab
- Select a restore point from a list
- Click Restore
This would:
- Improve usability
- Reduce risk of mistakes
- Make disaster recovery faster and more reliable
