 It is possible to restore only a folder or file by changing ''snapshot_id'' to ''snapshot_id:/path/to/folder/or/file'' in the above expression
-==== If you need to restore a snapshot ====
-Once this is done, you can do another backup of your /home, which contains all your regular files. For this you can use the software backintime. You can install it with:
-<code>
-sudo apt install backintime-qt
-</code>
-Before launching it, we need to decrypt the encrypted disk, and mount the logical volume we intend to use:
-<code>
-sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdb2 cryptsetup
-sudo vgchange -ay
-sudo mount /dev/mapper/vgbackup-home /mnt
-</code>
-now everything written on /mnt on your computer will be written on your disk.
-You can then launch backintime with:
-<code>
-sudo backintime-qt
-</code>
-you can then configure it to save things in /mnt:
-{{ ::backintime_1.png?600 |}}
-{{ ::backintime_2.png?600 |}}
-{{ ::backintime_3.png?600 |}}
-And then click on "Take snapshot" and wait for it to finish:
-{{ ::backintime_4.png?600 |}}
-you can then unmount and remove your backup disk:
-<code>
-sudo umount /mnt
-sudo vgchange -an vgbackup
-sudo cryptsetup luksClose cryptodisk
-</code>
