restic mount ~/mnt/backup/
Then go to ~/mnt/backup/snapshots, and look for the wanted files.

Downloadsdirectory
How to access backed up data ?
First, the Odroid HC4 server needs to be powered on.
To list backups:
docker exec restic-hc4 restic snapshotsForce backup of folder:
docker exec restic-hc4 restic backup /data/documents/manualsFind the path to the file within the snapshot:
docker exec restic-hc4 restic find file_nameFind files only for a specific snapshot:
docker exec restic-hc4 restic find -s latest file_nameRestore files/folders (replace file/folders):
docker exec restic-hc4 restic restore --include /data/documents/manuals --target / 088e31a4
You can use latest instead of the ID.
If indeed, we want to make a copy of the file, we can use the backup folder
docker exec restic-hc4 restic restore --include /data/documents/manuals --target /backup 088e31a4
