 ## Restore
 
 For restore, just call *NextcloudRestore.sh*. This script expects at least one parameter specifying the name of the backup to be restored. In our example, this would be *20170910_132703* (the time stamp of the backup created before). The full command for a restore would be *./NextcloudRestore.sh 20170910_132703*.
