NAME
nethsm-system-restore - Restore the device from a backup

SYNOPSIS
nethsm system restore [-a|--auth-passphrase-file] [-b|--backup-passphrase-file] [-c|--config] [-s|--system-time] [-l|--label] [-u|--user] [-h|--help] <INPUT>

DESCRIPTION
Restore the device from a backup

The device may be in state "Operational" or "Unprovisioned". In both cases, the users and keys from the backup replace those on the device (if any).

If the device is in state "Unprovisioned", any credentials provided for authentication are ignored, the system configuration (e.g. TLS certificate, unlock passphrase, etc.) from the backup is used as well, the device is rebooted and ends up in "Locked" state.

If no new system time is provided, it is derived from the caller's system time. If no backup passphrase is provided specifically, it is prompted for interactively.

Requires authentication of a system-wide user in the "Administrator" role only if the device is in "Operational" state.
