#516 Issue closed: How to restore using an alternative location storing the same backup files?¶

For ex, in case disaster strikes, the original location that stores the
backup is is not available anymore, how to tell rear to recover from a
non original source use for backup (suppose that all the backup files
are replicated/copied over).
In my case I used NFS to backup, but since I have issue with NFS4
support by rear, how can tell rear to use the new place and not the
original one after transfering the backup files to a different place?
This is definitively very useful and flexible if rear can do it.

In the /etc/rear/local.conf or /etc/rear/site.conf file you can just
change the location of BACKUP_URL in whatever you want.
Also, if you are using NFSv4 you better also include
BACKUP_OPTIONS="nfsvers=3,nolock"
